As mentioned in the comments, conda support for jupyter notebooks is needed to switch kernels. Seems like this support is now available through conda itself (rather than relying on pip). http://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/user-guide/tasks/use-jupyter-notebook-extensions/

conda install nb_conda

which brings three other handy extensions in addition to Notebook Conda Kernels.
