  If you want to get a lot of vegetables in liquid form and green smoothies aren't your thing, why not  make a gazpacho instead? I throw in a bunch of veggies, add two avocadoes, softboiled eggs, 1/4 cup olive oil, and season with salt, balsamic vinegar and hot sauce. Then puree it all in a food processor. It's so good, I could eat the whole thing in one go. This way you get some fat in there as well that helps with nutrient asborption and satiety.

  Unchatenfrance has a good ssuggestion, but if you're looking for a breakfast or quick post work out smoothie, the one you have listed is similar to one I throw together. Kale and ginger are both really strong in taste, however so you have to throw in a fruit to match that. I like blueberries. THey tend to take over. The pear would have been awesome with the ginger. And like PP said, spinach is a good choice over kale as well. I'ma bigger fan of kale, but spinach is much sweeter in taste so that could help.

  I agree with Stage.
  
  My mean green juices were actually delicious. Maybe you needed more apples. I followed these recipes from the reboot website.
