Simple Spinach Smoothie

Lets be honest, this is probably the only way I'm going to eat a huge serving of kale or spinach every day. Popeye would be so proud. I was surprised how much I loved this smoothie when I first made it. By the ingredients list it doesn't sound like its going to be that tasty but it sure is.
