Kale Banana Smoothie
Servings: 1
Kale is protein and fiber-rich, and a leafy green superstar. We also call this kale banana smoothie "Oh Kale Yeah!"
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup kale
- 1 cup water
- ½ banana
- 1 cup pineapple frozen
- 1 cup strawberries frozen
- 1 serving homemade protein powder optional
Instructions
- Place kale and water in blender. Puree until smooth.
- Add remaining fruit and blend again.
Notes
- De-stem the kale before adding to your smoothie to cut down on the bitterness.
- Use at least one frozen fruit to make the smoothie cold or serve over ice.
- If you don't like kale, swap for baby kale which is more mild. Or you can even replace with spinach.
- To lower the natural sugar, swap 1/2 banana with 1/4 an avocado. Or swap the whole banana with 1/2 an avocado.
