Green Smoothie - "Green Pine"

1/2 pineapple
2 lacinato kale leaves, ribs removed
2 large handfuls baby spinach
Water

This is the first green smoothie I ever made. I had no idea if my Oster Beehive blender would work on greens (I had only used it on frozen fruit before). I didn't blend it long enough at first so it was chunky. Ended up pouring it back in to blend longer and it was fine.

I now know that I should have added ice or frozen fruit to keep the foam to a minimum. I hate foam! Also, There is no need to remove the ribs from greens. It's a waste of time and food and nutritional value.

But overall, it wasn't bad for a first attempt. I hope my experiences will help you make excellent green smoothies.
