Last week, my body was feeling off. Not sick - just off. And the only things that sounded appealing were smoothies and broth. If you have been following my Instagram stories, you saw that my blender is working overtime. The freezer is stockpiled with frozen fruit, and never before has there been so much spinach and kale in our fridge at one time. But, oh man, there are some epic smoothies coming out of that blender right now, and this Berry Green Smoothie is one of my favorites.

Almost every smoothie I make involves veggies, and particularly green ones, of some sort. Spinach and kale are the favorites, with Swiss chard and even red cabbage making an occasional appearance. When I hear people say that they don't like greens in their smoothies, the justification usually includes "little green bits floating in my smoothie". I have a couple of tricks that will make the greens seamlessly blend into your drink.

Tricks to blending greens:

• Add the liquid, then the greens to the blender, and puree before adding the rest of the ingredients.
• Puree well...very well. I let the blender run for at least one minute, scraping down the sides once, until the greens are completely liquified.
• No need to remove spinach stems or even some of the smaller kale ribs. They'll blend in easily!

The nutritional data for this berry green smoothie is for two 8-ounce smoothies, which is perfect for a pre-workout boost or afternoon snack. However, if the smoothie is standing in for breakfast, I drink the entire 16 ounces to get in a good dose of veggies, protein and fiber to start the day.
