Alleged "Detox" Green Smoothie

I found this smoothie recipe from Pinterest. The original can be found here. This was pretty disgusting. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but is kale supposed to be spicy? The consistency was thick (guess I didn't blend long enough). And mine was not bright green like the original photo. Lastly, I wasn't "detoxed" either.

Banana, Pear, Kale, Spinach, Orange Juice

I hate to throw it out, but first I'm going to add some mixed frozen fruit, blend it more and see how it tastes afterwards.

Drinks for a Snack

I would drink the Berry Boost smoothie for an in-between meal snack and the Protein Plus right after a workout.  Each of these contains two 8 oz servings.  From the bottle, you may think it's okay to knock back the whole bottle randomly because it "looks" healthy, but you have to pay attention to the numbers.

Berry Boost - 260 calories in the entire bottle

Protein Plus Chocolate shake - 380 calories in the entire bottle
