    Also, kale is gross. Don't ruin smoothies with kale.

First of all HOW DAER U

But seriously, you need some fiber in a smoothie if you're going to consume them regularly. Otherwise you're just getting huge sugar boosts which are not good for ones long term pancreatic/digestive health.

Fine, no kale, but spinach is super mild tasting and other than the color you can put a half cup or more into most smoothies and not notice the taste.

And bananas are deceivingly sweet and pretty dang good for you. Oh... And super stupid cheap.

All points in their favor.

I must be mindful of my potassium intake, so my daily driver smoothies have lost their banana component.

Frozen is fine, I have unanswered (unresearched) questions about nutritional content but more veggies is almost always better.
