BLUEBERRY KEFIR SMOOTHIE WITH GREENS

Blueberry Kefir Smoothie With Greens image

This green smoothie is really more blue than green, as the color of the blueberries predominates. But the greens are there, so in my mind it's still a green drink. Half a banana wasn't quite enough to punch up the flavor of the drink, but I found that a whole banana did the trick. I used a baby greens mix that included baby kale, chard (red and green), and spinach.
