SUNSHINE KALE GREEN SMOOTHIE FOR KIDS-1

If you are looking for ways to add more greens into your child's diet, try this smoothie! It is a little sweeter than some of my other green smoothie recipes due to the sweet fruits; the acids from the citrus fruits also hide the bitter flavors in the greens, making it suitable for children who may be unaccustomed to the strong bitter flavors in dark leafy greens. Serve this smoothie as an afternoon snack or pack a small jar in your child's lunchbox. If you are following a low-oxalate diet, then use lacinato kale, which can also be called dino or black kale. This variety of kale is lower in oxalates! 

Ingredients
2½ cups frozen mango
1 large ripe bananas (fresh or frozen)
1 large oranges peeled
1 large lemons juiced
½ bunches kale rinsed
1 handfuls parsley (optional)
2 cups water
