<\/p>\nA friend of mine has been extolling the virtues of green smoothies and was trying to talk me into the 30 day green smoothie challenge. I figured I should probably eat one green smoothie before I committed to a month. She agreed and took one last opportunity to tell me how good kale was for me.<\/p>\n
I read a quick guide on what I might put in my smoothie and got started.
\n<\/p>\n
Take 1:
2 cups of kale
2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup blackberries
(smoothie is no longer green, I’ll add another half cup of kale just in case…in case of what? I don’t know.)
1 cup blueberries
1. 5 cup strawberries
2 tbsp. flax seed<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Tasted it.
\n
It’s not bad, but it’s not good. It doesn’t taste like anything I can identify.<\/p>\n
Take 2:
Add 150g Chobani vanilla nonfat yogurt (13 g of sugar can’t hurt.)
Nope. Something is bitter? or something. Can’t quite put my finger on it.<\/p>\n
![\"cups](\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_0934-225x300.jpg\")
\n
Take 3:
Add a packet of stevia to each glass.
It’s getting there, but it’s too runny.
\n
Take 4:
Freeze it.
\n
The next day, I eat a smoothie with a spoon.
The day after that, I let it melt a little and drink the second smoothie. <\/p>\n
Later that day, I realize that kale has more fiber than expected.<\/p>\n
And so it was that I started the 6 week Crossfit at Home challenge (recommended by a friend) with a Kale Cleanse.
I think I need new friends.
\n
Ps. When I asked my friend how she LOVED green kale smoothies, she sweetly responded, “oh……..I only use Spinach.”

Pps. Here are the green socks I’m working on. Pattern to be re-released by Hunter Hammersen sometime in the future. I’ll let ya’ll know when it’s available.

You’ll note the foods in these photos are not green smoothie in nature.<\/p><\/div>![\"Green_Sock\"](\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/IMG_0918-300x300.jpg\")
