(*) You may choose to add less kale for your first smoothie. Two cups gives smoothie a green flavor. One cup would allow kale to be masked by the flavor of the orange and strawberries. You can use plain coconut water to cut down on sugars. I prefer the gauva flavor in this particular blend. If Kale will not blend completely, add more coconut water. If your smoothie is too thick, add more coconut water. When you are finished toss the orange peels in sink disposal to help deodorize your sink and sharpen garbage disposal blades.
