Tropical Green Smoothie

January 9, 2019 by Tina Verrelli 5 Comments
Modified August 16, 2020 at 9:34 pm

This is my favorite green smoothie!  I like to make it at least twice a week.  It’s a great way to get lots of greens, fruits and fiber into your diet.  I often pour it into a to-go cup and take it on the run.  I use lacinato kale which is also known as dinosaur/dino kale, Tuscan kale and black kale.

This is a smaller version of our favorite Macaroni & Cheese for a Crowd (20-25 people) Recipe.  It serves 10-12 people depending upon your serving size.  The recipe uses cheddar and American cheese.  The American cheese adds creaminess and is mild, so it’s a great blend.  All ages love it!
