7 - Day Green Smoothie Challenge - Day 2

For Day 2, I chose to use kale. I don't regularly eat kale and I always hear about how strong it is, so I was definitely a little nervous. Surprisingly, I think I prefer it over spinach in these smoothies. It has more of that green, herby flavor that doesn't get lost in all the fruit. I think I'll be using it all up this week.

This time I drank this smoothie in place of lunch :)
