That said, I do still make kale smoothies, consisting of about a cup of water, two or three leaves of kale (depending on size), three or so strawberries, a banana and a handful of blueberries.

Did you finish it? Confession: I don't like eating salad. Too much cutting. Too much chewing. Salad dressing is kinda gross. I have a sweet tooth. It is easier and much more appealing to whip up a smoothie in the blender. I now consume 10+ servings of veggies throughout the day every day because they taste better.... better because the veggies are mixed with (masked by) sweet fruit. Oh, I’m proud of you, Leeanne!

You joined the dark side! I've found that people tend to like pineapple in their green juice, but for me it's too overpowering. My green juice: 1 apple 1 pear 1 banana 1 cup of water A couple of handfuls of baby spinach and sometimes if it's too thick, I strain out once or twice. Another good one is bananas, blueberries and almond/soy milk. Mmm! Yay! You joined the dark side!
