Extra dark green kale tastes very good as smoothies and if you don’t like kale or don’t have any on hand, totally swap it for some chard or spinach. You can use fresh fruit, but frozen is fine too. If you want it extra cold, use 1 cup of ice or use frozen fruit in place of fresh.
What better way to start a day than sipping a cold green smoothie
