This green smoothie is really more blue than green, as the color of the blueberries predominates. But the greens are there, so in my mind it’s still a green drink. Half a banana wasn’t quite enough to punch up the flavor of the drink, but I found that a whole banana did the trick. I used a baby greens mix that included baby kale, chard (red and green), and spinach.
