really, "bitter strawberries" says it all.  all in all, not terrible, but certainly not anywhere near the neighborhood of delicious either.

1 stalk celery
1/4 avocado
1 banana
1 c pineapple
1/2 lime
sm handful cashews
1/2 tbsp chia seeds
handful dandelion greens

Outcome: pretty tasty
fresh, bright and a little bitter (from the dandelion greens).  the cucumber and pineapple are the predominant flavors and they're delicious together.
