If you’re lucky enough to romance someone with breakfast in bed…. do not bring kale. Bring bacon. Bacon is better in bed. Kale is stupid in bed. Kale is better if you’re a single lady that wants a smoothie.
How is that for a pro tip?
Believe it or not, kale and spinach blend up perfectly into a smoothie.
I know! I totally had my doubts…. but it works.
I added pear and banana and almond milk too. So super delicious. It doesn’t taste like you’re drinking kale and spinach. It tastes like your drinking good.
Ps. I have spinach in my teeth. True story.
Kale Spinach and Pear Smoothie
inspired by Tracy. Thanks Tracy!
1 heaping cup spinach leaves
1 heaping cup chopped kale leaves
1/2 pear
1 frozen banana
1 1/2 cups cold almond milk (or soy milk or orange juice)
1 tablespoon honey
Remove kale leaves from their rough center stalk and coarsely chop. In a blender, combine kale spinach and almond milk. Blend until no big kale bits remain. Stop blender and add banana honey and pear. Blend until smooth. Enjoy immediately. Heck yea!

Recently, I came across your site Joy, I’m glad I did! I had some pears and kale that needed to be whipped into something so I Vitamixed these. Best part of a smoothie is all you need is an idea then take it from there. I didn’t have spinach so I doubled the kale, used a whole pear, 1 cup unsweetened soy & 1/2 cup vanilla soy and ixnayed the honey – too many carbs for me. Darn, I forgot – I was going to add flax . . . tomorrow!
