TIPS TO MAKE A KALE SMOOTHIE THAT DOESN'T TASTE LIKE KALE
Here are my tips on how to make a smoothie kale smoothie that does not taste like kale.
USE FRESH KALE. Kale that has been sitting around for awhile starts to smell and will develop stronger kale taste. Make sure you're using as fresh as possible kale.
ADD SWEET FRUITS. I added banana and pineapple in my kale smoothie and these two sweet fruits completely mask the flavor of kale. Mangoes are another excellent fruit to pair with kale.
ADD SOME NUT BUTTERS. I love using cashew butter in my kale smoothies because cashew butter has a naturally sweet buttery taste that masks the taste of kale wonderfully.
KEEP BLENDING UNTIL TOTALLY SMOOTH. You will have to blend this kale smoothie for longer than your typical smoothie. Keep blending it until it looks smooth and green and you don't see any leafy chunks of kale left.

I love that you added some collagen to your healthy green smoothie! I also love adding spinach because it's so mildly flavoured that you can't even tell it's there!
