Things I miss about Massachusetts include this kale smoothie from Woodstar Cafe.
Although it isn't their exact recipe, this version has done a pretty good job holding me over until I finish trying every smoothie cart and juice bar in The City to find my new favorite.
Tropical flavors of banana, mango, and orange bring out the best of kale's health aspects while masking its bitterness. Greek yogurt adds protein and balances the kick from the fresh ginger. Sprulina and lemon brighten up the drink while flax grounds it with a little nuttiness.
If you like your smoothies sweet try adding a splash of honey!
