recipe: tropical kale smoothie

I've been wanting to make a smoothie with kale for awhile to use up some leftovers I have in the fridge and to get more greens in my diet, but since an arugula smoothie debacle from last week, I've been hesitant to try kale in a smoothie. I'm been afraid of overpowering the smoothie with a bitter kale taste and wasting a lot of perfectly good fruit. I took a risk with this smoothie this morning though and it was really good. You can still taste the kale, but it's not overpowering or unpleasant:

Ingredients:

1 large kale leaf, rough stem removed
1 peach
1 banana
1 cup tropical frozen fruit (my mix has mango, pineapple, strawberries, & papaya)
1/2 cup almond milk
