Loved this smoothie! Delicious! Thanks for posting!!
Thank-you! So glad you enjoyed….one of our favorites too.
You're so welcome. Glad you enjoyed!
This is sooooo good. I add flax to mine for added benefit.
Brenda, Good idea!
This may be a dumb question but what is the size for one serving?
1 Cup.
I drink a green smoothie every morning but this pretty color enticed me so i made it last night. It was green like my other smoothies, how could it not be with kale and spinach? I made it again this morning and this time instead of mixed berries i just used strawberries and rasp for the fruit (and the bananas called for) Still green. Regarding taste, it was 'okay" Since i like all these ingredients and use them regularly in different ways, i will not make this again. for those who don't use these ingredients it would be a healthy way to get a good dose of beneficials….who said medicine had to taste great anyways? (it IS "okay")
This was very good but was kind of a gross brown color. Maybe I had too much kale?
Possibly. It should be loosely packed…so try a little less next time.
So yummy! I am on a super food kick and especially kale!
YUM….. :)
I LOVE this smoothie! So quick and easy for busy mornings getting my kids and fiancé ready. As a mother to almost one year old twins, this recipe is a great thing when we need to head out the door quickly
I love this smoothie because it is jam packed with nutrients and soooo delicious!!! It keeps me feeling full for hours too…an added bonus!!
Yummy!!
Yummy!!
I LOVE this one!!! Anything with kale and ginger gets my vote!!
(I add a little extra ginger, too)
Great smoothie!! A treat that's good for you!
I can't wait to try this. Hoping the kids like it as well.
I made this recently and liked it, but it didn't look as pretty as the picture. How did you get it so pink/red?
Delish! Great for a weekday breakfast!
Looks so yum
I'm addicted to these now. It doesn't look so pretty but I really like the taste and I have a ton of energy
Mary Anne, Me too!!!
