Notes

  • Pulse — Depending on your blender or your ingredients, you might have to pulse the ingredients to achieve a perfectly smooth texture.
 
  • Use frozen — Frozen kale will be much easier to blend, compared to fresh ones. For this purpose, you might want to buy frozen kale instead of fresh.
