This is wonderful. I am trying to improve my health and this is delicious way to get my greens. I did not have kale , so I substituted fresh baby spinach, omitted the coconut oil (did not have any) and used soy milk because I needed it to be dairy free ( I have asthma).

I just made this. I didn't add the coconut oil because I don't have it. I used 2 teaspoons of flax seed meal. I used 1/2 cup of almond milk instead and added 3 ice cubs. Delicious. I have a VitaMix and this blended perfectly. I will definitely make this again. It's very refreshing.

I used green leaf lettuce (frozen) instead of kale and I omitted the flax seed meal. This blended beautifully even with a very old blender. Very delicious tasting with a hint of tropical (coconut oil). Coconut oil is famed for promoting energy and a healthy metabolism.

With the original recipe, the kale was too overpowering. Adding an extra banana balances it out, although you'll still taste the kale.

Typically, for the sake of my health, I manage to choke some things down that I don't really care for as long as they're healthy. (And I don't have a picky palate.) I did not care for this. I had skipped the flax and oil... tried to add some honey then some vanilla protein powder and I just couldn't do it to myself. Bummer.

Wow, this was really good! I used 1/2 cup light soymilk, 1 ounce fresh spinach, 1 banana, 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, 1/2 cup grapes, and left out the juice.

Fantastic! The only changes I made: home squeezed orange juice instead of store bought, and almond milk instead of regular. I also didn't have flex seeds to add in. It turned out delicious, I will be adding it to my usual breakfast rotation.

My first green smoothie ever and I love it! I made mine with spinach instead of kale and my banana wasn't frozen. I added ice cubes at the end to chill it more and thicken it a bit. I will definitely be getting all my daily fruits and veggies from now on! (Oops! I just now reread the recipe, and somehow, I also added a 6 oz. carton of vanilla yogurt. Must have gotten it mixed up with another recipe on here)

My family and I have been on a smoothie kick lately and this fit right in. I thought mixing orange juice and milk would be a little odd but tried it anyway. Pretty good!! The next time we made this I dumped the milk (sorry) and added strawberry yogurt instead. I didn't use coconut oil or flax seed meal and I added frozen strawberries and blueberries too. Great recipe though!! We had a lot of fun coming up with other ways to incorporate Kale into our morning smoothie!!
