Green Smoothie and a Blender Question

[KeptByTheWord]

So.... after much price comparison, reading reviews, blogs, and comments from people who own either a Vitamix or a Nutribullet... I bit the bullet!

Yup! I bought the Nutribullet at Costco for $79.99. It came with the large blender cup, plus 3 smaller cups, and lids. I have been drinking a green smoothie for breakfast for several days now, and feel much, much better in the mornings. I am not a big breakfast eater, and the smoothie has been a great way to get my morning started.

Since kale is available here fresh and cheap - $2.00 for huge bundle at the local farmer's market, I have been making my green smoothie with the following ingredients:
2 cups kale
1 cup mixed fruit (banana, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, peaches etc.)
1-1/2 cup almond milk
1/2 cup orange juice
1 tsp vanilla
1 Tbsp chia seeds

This is a wonderful investment for your health, and I highly recommend the Nutribullet to anyone who is wanting a better smoothie than a typical blender, but can't afford the high dollar Vitamix. And I like the fact that I can add a lid to the cup that I blended the smoothie in and drink it as I go.
