    1. Hi Janelle, you can replace the kale with spinach and add another small banana for the avocado. Please keep in mind these substitutions will change the nutritional information.

  1. Bummer! Was hoping to make them for breakfast replacement, have a long commute and can’t make them in the morning. Thanks for responding!

  2. I make all sorts of smoothies one day and have enough to put into two large traveling cups with lids. I drink one right away for breakfast and drink the other the next morning for breakfast or as a mid-morning snack. The 2nd day smoothie thickens a little bit so I add filtered water or a little almond milk. It works beautifully for me, a Type 2 diabetic!
