Notes
Keep in mind these measurements are for 1-2 drinks depending on how much you like. However, the Kale and Strawberry blend is enough for 3 or 4. You can always cut the preparation portions down if you won't use them, but having it handy in the refrigerator for the next one is always a nice and quick way to have a healthy snack on the spot.
*Kale: Some people like Kale raw and the stems. This recipe does not call for that so check that out before making this with raw Kale.
This recipe does not call for ice, however, if you wish to add ice it is all up to you.
Prepare this with just about any fruit and sweetener, let your taste buds be the guide.
