Apple Kiwi Smoothie with Kale and Spinach
Fresh and tangy with a green, slightly earthy note from the kale and a juicy, medium-thin body.
Kale is the sturdiest leaf you can put in a smoothie. It has a stronger, slightly cabbage-like flavor than spinach, so one leaf per glass is plenty, and the tough central stalk should be cut out. Baby spinach adds volume and a softer green note.
Apple provides sweetness and crisp juice, kiwi a lively acidity and vitamin C. Kale itself is a good source of vitamin K. The combination suits a morning when you want something fresh rather than creamy. A powerful blender helps, as kale fibers can otherwise stay noticeable.

Usually too much kale or an unripe kiwi. Use less kale or add half a banana.
