This is the ever-present inner struggle: You want something sweet and decadent, like a cool, creamy slice of key lime pie. But your undernourished, over served bod needs kale and greens like whoa. What's a mere mortal to do? Grab a glass of this stuff and gulp away. With all of the tangy, tart flavors of pie (including the graham crackers!) and the nutrients of pineapple, lush greens, and citrus, this is what we call making good adult decisions without sacrificing taste.
