Kale Citrus Smoothie
Servings: 1
This refreshing citrus smoothie uses the whole lemon—minus the peel—for maximum flavor and nutrition. Blending the entire fruit adds a bright, zesty kick along with extra fiber, vitamin C, and antioxidants you won’t get from juice alone. Paired with mango, banana, and kale, this smoothie is creamy, energizing, and bursting with sunshine in every sip
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup kale
- ½ cup water
- 1 lemon peeled
- 1 cup mango frozen
- ½ banana

Notes
- Use at least one frozen fruit to make this smoothie cold.
- To cut back on the natural sugar in this recipe, swap 1/2 banana with 1/4 avocado or 1/4 cup cauliflower. Learn how to cut avocado if you don't know how.
- Swap kale with leafy green vegetables of your choice.
- This recipe uses the lemon fruit, not just the juice, for extra fiber and nutrients. If you're in a pinch, lemon juice works great too!
