Kale, cucumber, celery, blueberries, garlic cloves, ginger root,

No reason to limit carbs from whole fruits. You've only blueberries in there anyways

Let's not get into that debate.

It's not a meal replacement—I make and drink this alongside a big omelet stuffed with mushrooms, scallions, cheese, and all that shit—and it actually tastes pretty good if your blender's good enough to shred everything into tiny bits.

I've made similar ones.

I like to add yogurt to mine, it's tasty and very nutritious. Good for probiotics too. Coconut milk or water is an option.

Is that a chocolate gorilla in a bowl of milk

looks like it

Fucking yogurt, of course. Some Greek yogurt to add creaminess could work out really well, good idea.
I was thinking of using peanut butter for the same reason but I'm concerned it might make the whole concoction taste like shit. I mean, I've put pb on celery before and that's fine, but mixing pb and garlic and kale is a whole other story.

It is.

I tend to go one of two routes with my smoothies.

If I go veggie then I tend to stick mostly with veggies. Kale, ginger, cucumber, lemon, celery, and apple is my go-to.

Other days I go with yogurt, coconut milk, frozen berries (usually blueberries) and/or other fruit, etc.

I'd think adding lemon would make the ginger more noticeable, so I'll have to give that a shot too. Cutting into this ginger root every other morning makes me think how good this stuff smells, but I barely taste it in the finished product. It just adds a bit of a pleasurable burn I feel in my throat.
Just now though I made the smoothie outlined in the OP, minus garlic, plus a serving of natural peanut butter. There's so much other shit in here that the pb has a pretty muted taste but it's definitely there. It tastes almost like peanut butter-flavored protein shake powder . . . which I guess would be another option to add to these things.
I'll definitely try coconut milk/water though. Cold water works well, but improving the taste even more couldn't hurt. And maybe I'll do frozen fruit instead of fresh fruit since it's more convenient and will lower the temperature a bit more.

I would honestly sub the blueberries for banana, and add basil.

Watch the coconut milk you use. A lot of that shit has added sugar. The vegetable ingredients I use most are kale, spinach, celery, cucumber, cilantro, ginger, and various squashes. The sweet stuff I mix up often. Apples, bananas, beets, berries, grapes, cherries, etc. you'll just have to play around with different combos and make note of what you like. Greek yogurt is good for texture too.

What does it taste like? Say I've never had a veggie smoothie in my life, but I'd like to get into it. Is it actually good?

Oh, and how much of everything should I use?
