Collard Greens?

I picked up a new kind of green at the grocery store this weekend to try in my green smoothie. I don’t have a lot of experience with anything other than baby spring mix and spinach (and I tried mustard greens… nach! My throat was on fire!). I thought it was kale but they were actually collard greens according to the twist tie around the bottom. The point is, my smoothie tastes like vomit. I don’t mean that metaphorically, either. It tastes exactly like vomit. Does anyone else have experience with collard greens? Are they not a good green smoothie base? I tried to drink it but I got about a quarter of the way through before I had to ditch it. I know I am supposed to mix up the greens to get different vitamins/minerals out of them, but the only one I like is baby spinach! Are there other milder, sweeter, non-vomitous greens?

Thanks!

    Thanks, guys. I have some left over and I am going to try them as a wrap this afternoon for lunch. I definitely tried to do the same fruit:greens ratio as I would with spinach, and that was a bad idea. Now I know! Wraps only! TheRawDance, your ideas for fillings sound delicious.
