Also, I find swiss chard and spinach the most benign of flavours. I can put 200 g in 1 liter of smoothie easily and not taste the greens per se, although I can see them and sometimes feel the fibers. I started with maybe 50 g. Kale, on the other hand, is pretty gross even at 100 g for me. |
I've been weaning my self onto leafy greens that same way. I do a large package of baby greens and watermelon and pomegranate juice. Sometimes I put a banana or plum or some other fruit. As long as there are no junks, I'm ok. But when I had some larger pieces left in there by not mixing good enough, I was gagging.
