Even if you’re not a fan of kale, this smoothie is worth a try: The apple juice and banana mask the vegetable flavors so effectively, you can use a full cup of the vitamin-rich leafy green.
Margaret’s Note: Check out the comments section on the web. Several folks mentioned using just a whole apple or two rather than the juice and some other simple modifications like adding yogurt or strawberries or mango. This is definitely a play with it and have fun recipe that even kiddos will like. Great if you’re in the picky-eater stage!
