Looks like Swamp Muck but tastes delicious!

Is it possible to make a bad tasting green smoothie? This is my question because the color of today's concoction looks like something that parents could use to threaten kids with. "If you don't do your homework, you'll have to drink this swamp muck!" or "If you don't clean your room, you'll have to drink a full glass of swamp goo!" But, as bizarre as the color is, it sure tastes good! Today's recipe:

*1-1/2 cups Odwalla Superfood
*1 cup carrot juice (from Costco)
*2 apples
*6 or 7 frozen strawberries
*a few handfuls of Earthbound Farm Organic Spring Mix

I had to pour out some of the initial mixture in order to have room to shove the handfuls of greens in the carafe. (Wooden spoon handles are great for tamping down the greens.) Once the greens were blended in, I had enough room to pour in the rest of the initial mixture. The end result was about 1-1/2 quarts, which is all that this carafe can hold. No banana today simply because we're out of bananas -- we might have one left, but DH might need it for his breakfast tomorrow.

I can't find Odwalla Superfood. What could I substitute?
