Green smoothies are a great way to start the day off right with a serving (or two!) of leafy greens. The secret to mellowing the flavour of bitter greens is to blend them with a sweeter fruit like apple or mango and a bit of fresh citrus juice. Try this pineapple kale green smoothie for a great start….
