Banana Pineapple Tomato Orange Kale Smoothie
Yes, all of those ingredients together.
Ingredients:
1 banana
1 cup pineapple
2 small tomatoes
1 orange
4 cups baby kale
8 ounces of filtered water
Anyone willing to try this? The creator of this smoothie said the pineapple and orange help mask the flavor of the tomatoes. It also works as a meal replacement.
