Okay flavor. I like the ginger and the two different types of citrus. But the flavor was too grassy. <br /><br />In addition to freezing it to make pops, I tried it as a smoothie. But the mixture was more liquid-y than I expected. The result was a smoothie that was more like a juice. And the frozen pop was icier than I’d want.
