pineapple and banana are already super sweet and contain ton of sugar (carrots too), i really dont see the need to add agave nectar as well.
I didn’t have cantaloupe so I used frozen peaches. I didn’t have a tomato, so I used frozen strawberries. And I used several drops of stevia instead of agave. SUPER YUMMY. It was my first time using my brand new Blendtec. I am wondering if I should have halved the carrots lengthwise instead of just making them shorter? I thought the Blendtec was going to jump off the counter when I turned it on! I turned it off and on again a couple of times because I was so freaked out. Was that the carrots?
It was likely the frozen strawberries. You can wait for them to thaw a little before blending and that should help. :)
Why not drink 3 to 4 cups and make it a meal? Could add some protein powder.
Use Stevia. I like liquid Stevia from Trader Joe’s or Sprouts.
