A green smoothie doesn’t have to taste like a freshly-mowed lawn, people. When you make it right, a green smoothie is perfectly balanced, with notes of sweetness that cut through the slightly bitter greens. For instance, this smoothie contains bananas and dates, two sweet ingredients.
The most important thing to remember when you make a kale smoothie is this: do not blend the thick stems. The reason for this is because they’ll make your smoothie taste extremely bitter. Now that you have that information, let’s blend this smoothie!
