Notes
Make-Ahead & Storage Tips: You can refrigerate any leftover smoothie in a mason jar or tightly sealed container for up to 1 day. Stir well before drinking.
Pro Tip: If you're using a lower-powered blender, blend just the kale and almond milk first to ensure a smoother result before adding the rest of the ingredients.
