Green smoothies are amazing, especially if you like kale. But if you don't, there's no reason to resentfully gulp it down for the ~health benefits~. There are plenty of leafy green alternatives with tons of nutrients and none of the strong kale taste or grainy texture — so you only taste the good stuff.

These delicious green smoothies are made with whole foods like fruits and veggies, minimal processed ingredients, little or no added sugar, and zero kale.
