Ripe red berries are among the most common smoothie ingredients. Found in every supermarket freezer section & fresh produce section, they're accessible and delicious. There's a reason for their ubiquitousness, I suppose!

Kale & spinach are the powerhouses of the green-world and also easy to find. Plus, their neutral taste doesn't mask the berry flavours. Let's face it, it's all about the berries.
