Truberry Kale

Here is another Kale-by-Vitamix drink. So simple to make and clean up!  I received a jar of Trueberry drink powder as a gift - usually used to mix with water. I thought it would work well in this blend, and it did.

Put in Vitamix and blend:

1 older banana
1 cup pineapple, cut up
3/4 cup watermelon, cut up
1 cup non-fat milk
1/4 cup non-fat yogurt, plain
1 scoop Trueberry powder
1.3 cups kale, ripped up
