2. Kale and pineapple smoothie

In Praise of Leftovers
Vegetables can help start the day right. Blend kale, spinach, and celery with frozen pineapple and boost the flavors with lemon and ginger for a refreshing breakfast smoothie or pick-me-up snack.

By Sarah Murphy-KangasIn Praise of Leftovers

Ever thought about jump starting your day with vegetables? Mix some kale with sweet pineapple into a smoothie and you'll forget this is a "good for you" breakfast.

Into your blender, throw a giant handful of washed kale, some spinach if you have it, a couple stalks of celery with leaves, a big handful of frozen pineapple (or fresh pineapple plus a couple ice cubes), a wedge of lemon with the peel off, a knob of peeled ginger, and however much water you or your blender requires. My Vitamix just needs about 1/2 cup.
