Can I freeze chopped, raw kale? Should I?

I am new to smoothies. I've been using a pre-mixed frozen smoothie mix (Wyman brand mix of kale, berries, and cherries), adding coconut milk or cow's milk, and I love it. But it is not reliably stocked at the store.

Also, I am afraid of kale in other settings. It's so bitter and chewy, whether cooked or raw. But in smoothies I'm delighted to learn that I don't taste it and it's great to supplement my normal woefully stingy intake of green leafies.

I have found bags of raw, chopped kale at the store. Can I freeze it to make my own smoothie mix with berries? Will freezing raw kale break it down or turn it mushy or black? If I can freeze it how should I do it? Can I just freeze the whole bag and break off clumps to throw in the blender with the rest of the ingredients? Or should I spread it out on cookie sheets, freeze it, and then portion it out with the berries, etc? Anything else I should be considering or avoiding?
