Notes
*I like to use natural peanut butter in this smoothie and add an extra little swirl at the end.If you’d like the smoothie to be colder, you have several options:
1 - You can throw in a handful of ice. 2) You can simply chill the smoothie for a few minutes after blending. 3) You can freeze the chopped kale on a lined baking sheet for a few minutes right before adding to the blender (my preferred method).
