Do not put swiss chard in a fruit smoothie
My husband and I bought a spinich/kale/swiss chard mix at the store to try in ours...knowing that spinich and kale were fine...
It tastes like you are licking a dirty potatoe....seriously.:sick: :sick: :sick:

I used to put rainbow swiss chard from TJ's in my smoothies & did not detect the off-flavor you describe.
But I totally believe you :laugh: I used only about 50g of swiss chard to about 100g total of fruits :drinker:0 -

You should really be more concerned about your potassium limits.0 -
Really? Maybe it was bad? The swiss chard I eat tastes sort of lemony which should be fine in a smoothie.0

Are you using the right word there?0 -
Oh I know it!
I tried that too and didn't like it.
One day, in a fit of insanity, I tried dandelion greens.
Please, for the love of all things green, DON'T DO IT!
My preference is for spinach, kale or flat leaf parsley. That's green enough for me. :happy:0 -
When we first got our Blendtec, I figured I'd make a turkey sandwich with side salad smoothie just for kicks.
Don't ever, ever, ever do this.
Was 3 months before I could eat turkey again :frown:0 -

I tried spinach in a fruit smoothie once and it was pretty bad.
Mostly, it deadened any sweetness from the fruit and since my smoothie is my "dessert," it ruined it. Never again.
I've never understood the greens in smoothies thing. I just eat salads.0 -

I like swiss chard in smoothies. It has a lot more sodium than other greens so it gives it a nice taste.
There are many different types and colors of chard so I would try a fresh bundle from the produce section and preferably organic. It shouldn't taste like dirty patoties. Add more fruit til it meets your taste.0 -
