Kale Berry Smoothie

I made this the other day without taking any pictures OR adding any kale, but today, wanted to replicate the smoothie.  However, my daughter washed part of a bunch of kale and I didn't want her to put it back, so we stuffed it in the Blendtec.

You really can't go wrong in making smoothies unless you put something like a bitter green in (I've done this) - like mustard greens, collards, dandelion greens.  You don't want to use any of those in these types of smoothies.  I don't have any pretty glasses to put my smoothies in as they are all packed away somewhere for when I buy my next home someday in the future.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups water
• 3 ripe bananas
• 1 cup cherries
• 3/4 cup blueberries
• 3 scoops whey protein
• 1 scoop psyllium husk
• 3 Tbspns ground cinnamon
• 1/3 bunch kale
• 2 cups ice

Directions:

• Put ingredients into the Blendtec (or Vitamix) blender as listed from water first to ice last.  However, if you have a normal less powerful blender, putting ice in first and then the other ingredients would make more sense.  However, the Cuisinart that I have is a nice one, but it cannot blend ice well and still leaves them in chunks.

• You can do this smoothie recipe without the ice.
• This smoothie is very sweet due to the fruit, so there is no need to add any type of other sweetener.
