VANILLA KALE SPIRULINA SMOOTHIE

If you haven't tried adding spirulina to your morning smoothies yet, you should board the train immediately! Spirulina is an algae, and even the powdered stuff carries a hint of that flavor with it. So, I like to add a few extra dates and a splash of vanilla to make this powerhouse smoothie easier to drink.
