Kale Pina Colada Smoothie

I absolutely love pineapple in my smoothies! I had to try making a "green smoothie" with pineapple. I call this recipe my Kale Pina Colada Smoothie! I will have to tell you that it was quite good considering that there was a bunch of kale in it. I was really surprised how the kale blended nicely with the pineapple.

Kale Pina Colada Smoothie
3 large kale leaves
1 banana
1 pear
1 cup of frozen pineapple
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cups water
6 ice cubes
1 teaspoon stevia

Since I have an older blender, I blended the kale with the water first. Then I did add the rest of the ingredients and blended it up until I knew there wasn't anymore kale or fruit pieces. It made about 5-6 cups of kale smoothie.
