Kale-Strawberry-Tropical Fruit Smoothie

This recipe comes from the Green Diva Mom. I substituted a mango and a papaya for the three small peaches that the original recipe calls for. The smoothie came out fibrous-- like it was just a blend of coarse fruit bits. It was hard to drink because of its chunkiness. In texture only, it reminded me of a gazpacho. I had to thin it with orange juice to drink it. Any better ideas for making this more drinkable?

1 bunch green kale (here, curly kale)
1 pint strawberries
1 mango
1 papaya (reserve the seeds to make a papaya seed dressing, if you like. Recipe here)
2 cups water

All of these ingredients get blended together until smooth.
