Yes, we use it for kale,spinach, celery mixed with all sorts of fruit, a few ice cubes to make it cold. We prefer mixing spinach with the kale for a better taste. I think the short jar mixes better than the tall one. I've never tried the tall jar personally but I've seen it on you tube.

i get the large organic bag of spinach/kale/chard from Costco. I mix that with their regular big container of spinach. then i freeze that and then crumble it up into almost "shake" and use that with unsweetened coconut milk. so its alot of greens and they're frozen. this blender tore right through them! then I add fruit and frozen strawberries and blueberries. again, no problem! so far, I'm very impressed.

Awesome! I make green smoothies every day with this blender and the results are fantastic. You could blend rocks with this thing! We'll worth the price. Enjoy!

We blend spinach for green smoothies every day -- and it totally pulverizes the leaves. From looking at comparison videos, the VERSA probably takes 20-30 seconds longer than a Vitamix to achieve the same final result when blending greens, but I will happily save the $200-300 and stick with my VERSA.

Yes - works on everything...kale does sometimes have tiny pieces, but you can not tell they are there when you drink it. I bet they would be removed if you let it blend longer (I am impatient). I have owned it for about 6 months. Luv it.

I juice a lot of kale and spinach. It does well as long as you have something a little more substantial to push through after (carrot, cucumber or celery do the trick)

It works perfectly with kale. I've never juiced spinach, but I would assume it should yield the same results. As advertised, the pulp that remains is VERY dry.

My sister made several veggie and fruit smoothies while visiting us - she used leafy vegetables - baby spinach, romaine,etc. It worked well for that. But I don't think you'd get beet juice or carrot juice! (I used frozen mango chunks in it; it made a God-awful racket, even after I added some juice but it did finally make a puree for a smoothie with vanilla frozen yogurt. YUM!

Well, I haven't processed celery through the machine yet, but leafy greens ( kale & spinach)...Yes, it does great! I'm pretty sure it will do just as good of a job on celery too!

Haven't tried it just plain. Usually blend it with spinach, water and citrus flavored omega oils.

Yes Amy, we have tried blending fruits, vegetables together, but this wonderful product, who by the way tried it through other friends of ours, have found it remarkable; it detoxifies your body, gives healthy digestion and elimination and helps support your immune system, plus gives you healthy blood sugar levels; it has a raw organic green juice blend, along with veggie and fruit juice blends, with organic sprout blends and probiotic and enzyme blend; we have been using this product for sometime now and won't change; we feel great since we've been using it; hope this helps you; good luck and God bless.

Oh sure, I put in about a cup to a cup an a half of kale or spinach, and then about a half of cup whichever berries are in season, I'll also add any other veggies I need to use up, likes cukes, peppers, celery, etc. I put one big scoop of the plant fusion, plus a couple tablespoons of ground flaxseed. Blend well!

All I have tried so far, like kale, is parsley and collard greens. It has a bit of a rough time with them, but, it does the task. I break up the greens with pieces of cucumber, which pushes all the greens through. Otherwise, I LOVE this juicer.

If you blend long enough you get puree. I use it for green smoothies in which I put raw spinach and/or kale. I will end up with a puree of the spinach or kale, along with some bits that I like because it gives me something to "chew." The only problem I have with the Ninja that I didn't have with the VitaMixer is that I sometimes have to stop the Ninja, remove the top and scrape the sides. With the VitaMixer, I could use a plunger with the top on so didn't have to stop to scrape the sides.

I have used this for making every kind of juice. Since kale is kind of dry, you might want to combine it with celery or cucumber. Dicing the veggies before juicing helps too. Smaller pieces going in make for better extraction.

I have a kale and fruit smothie every a.m. and I put a Tablespoon of the Green tea leaves in it:). Don't like to be or since they are better raw.

Yes, and very well. I have juiced kale, and other leafy greens and it does great.

I don't have much luck with kale and spinach. I am considering getting an Omega. I have had this machine for about 4 years. Any tips on juicing the greens?

I think it works fine, just let it run longer if you want a creamer texture. I use walnuts, almonds, spinach, all the berries and bananas with a little ice and about a 1/4 cup of water. I put alot of spinach or 50/50 blend salad in mine, yummy

In the small container I put kale, baby spinach ( 1 cup each) a banana, at least a cup of berries and some other fruit like half an apple or peach. Then fill to the line liquid of your choice. I use water, juice or almond milk usually. I like this better than juicing. It's less messy and you get all the fiber as well as nutrients.
