It does. I had to let it run for about two minutes on high, but the pieces got smaller than I could see. John has asked for another one tomorrow morning. I'm out of kale!

Mmmmm. Does the blender really break up kale into a smooth consistency? I’d expect not but I hope so bc that sounds great!

OUUU this sounds awesome! I am sorely tempted to buy a blender, as I think my fiancé would be more apt to eat real foods if they were prepared in drink form…
Congrats on the success!

Ha! I think I lucked out by catching on to this Real Food thing when my kids were in diapers. They’re willing to try anything I put in front of them, and they LOVE green smoothies. They don’t know enough to know that the food I feed them is “weird.”

I need to get me some fresh strawberries SOON. I got one little pint in my CSA a while back, and that was the end of that. I need to go to a you pick place and bring back a haul that will last me the year.

Thanks for sharing this in today’s Fight Back Fridays blog carnival.

Cheers,

Oh no, I do caffeine, although less now than I have in recent years. I’m not one to spoil a party, so I won’t tell you what’s in a cup of Starbucks!

Hmm, Starbucks is bad?? I’m guessing you don’t do caffeine? Please don’t tell me a plain cup of Starbucks coffee is loaded with carbs or some other nefarious thing?? (if it is, don’t tell me…snort)

I drink the green smoothies, but I’ve yet to offer them to my kids. I’ve got a hard enough time getting them to drink a honey/banana kefir smoothie. My kids are pretty strange. They are LOVING the popsicles I’m making from the same concoction though. Maybe fried eggs, sausage, etc + a smoothie is just too much for breakfast?
