Is it safe to eat 3 cups of spinach and 1 cup of kale each morning in a smoothie ? or is unhealthy to have that much every day ?

Safe: That should be safe and healthy. However if you have other medical conditions or taking medications kale and spinach may interact with those medications. If you do, see your physician as the medication dosages may need to be adjusted.
