Strawberry Peach Kale Smoothie

Recently I made Kale chips for the first time. So simple and delicious. I wanted my oldest to try them and I told him they were Dino Chips.  Saying anything is dino related usually peaks his interest. He ate them and LIKED them and has asked for me to make more! I love when kids surprise me!
Today I added Kale to my smoothie.  Kale is a thicker leaf than spinach and took more blending. Even then, next time I will steam it really quick to help soften it first.  Kale also has a stronger flavor than spinach.

Strawberry Peach Kale Smoothie
1 banana
1 stem of kale, remove the leaf from the steam
7 whole strawberries, frozen thawed
1/2 large peach
enough almond milk to make 4 cups

Blend the banana and kale together until kale is fine puree. Add other ingredients and blend.
I didn't add all the grains today, but certainly you could.
