Smoothie With greens

I just bought some Kale yesterday because I want to try juicing and have the same question. I don't have a clue where to begin with it... Good question! Sorry I cannot be of any help...

I actually put CANNED spinach in a smoothie this morning and could barely taste it. I had 1 cup spinach, 1 banana, 3 strawberries, 1/2 jar of pear/pineapple fruit mix, 1/2 cup milk & a splash of OJ. it was delish!

For some reason I have always been put off by fruit and dairy combos except flavored yogurts. Maybe I'm weird, but I feel like it makes me digest funny. I've heard almond milk is good, or I use canned pumpkin to get the consistency.

Try hemp milk -- super creamy and delicate on the tummy.

If I have spinach, I always throw a big handful into my smoothie and as others said, the taste is barely noticeable.

My brother makes a delicious smoothie with Kale, ice, pineapple, coconut water and apples it is delicious! Sweet and refreshing no need for artificial sweeteners or nothing!

spinach i think is best - just start out with a tiny amount and add a little bit each week until you get used to the taste. kale is still good too but i think spinach tastes less "green" if you know what i mean.

I tried my first smoothie with greens. I used half an avacado and cup of springmix/spinach...delish. Tried more greens with fruit and same thing.

It does not change the taste at all.

Honestly? It taste pretty bad, kale is a fairly harsh green. That being said you can hide the taste if you want because I will tell you after having Kale shakes for some time, they make you feel incredible and it is worth the off putting taste...

I use this one..

1 cup spinach, 1/2 a banana, 1/2 an apple, 1 cup almond milk (or whatever you want) cinnamon to taste

blend it up and yumminess, you can barely tast the spinach

I've realized I don't like spinach in smoothies if I'm using fruits like blueberries, strawberries, or bananas because it isn't sweet enough to cover the spinach. Mango and pineapple seem to be the better fruits to mix it with so that you don't taste the spinach.

My favorite protein smoothie with spinach doesn't have any fruit in it.. I eat the fruit on the side and I use unsweetened almond milk or chocolate soy milk, chocolate pb2, chocolate whey protein powder, and spinach. It taste like a chocolate peanut butter cup can't even tell there is spinach in it, but helps me get that extra serving or 2 of veggies for the day.

I dont notice any difference. 1 c kale, 1 c spinach fresh, 1/2 c cucumber, 1 celery stick, 1 slice lemon, then add fruit and water.

I put 2 cups of fresh organic spinach in all my fruit smoothies and the taste is just fine. A great way to get some dark green veggies in for the day! I recently purchased the Magic Bullet little blender for my smoothies. Love that little blender! Perfect for one drink smoothies!

I or should I say my DH recently got me the Wolfgang Puck Imersion blender/chopper and I have been having the best time creating smoothies. I was buying the Bolthouse pre-made ones before. Homemade are SO much better.

I use my smoothie as a way to get in some extra veggies I wouldn't otherwise have. My smoothie is: Almond milk, spinach, frozen blueberries or strawberries (rarely banana cause they're high in calories and sugar and fresh, raw spinach has more potassium), vanilla protein powder and a fiber boost. The color may look horrible but I can't taste the spinach at all whatsoever. I'm addicted to my smoothies. It's what I have about 5-6 mornings a week. I find it very filling too. However, I haven't tried kale yet.
