Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup kale
- ½ cup water
- 1 orange peeled
- ½ cup pineapple frozen
- ½ cup mango frozen
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Instructions
- Blend kale, orange and water until smooth.
- Add remaining fruit and blend again.
Notes
- Prep ahead: Wash and trim your kale the night before to save time in the morning.
- Blending tip: For a smoother texture, blend the kale and liquid first before adding fruit.
- Adjust sweetness: You can sweeten your smoothie naturally with a Medjool date, half a banana, or a drizzle of honey (if not strictly vegan).
- Massage your kale. A quick 30-second rub with a few drops of lemon juice or oil helps soften the leaves and reduce bitterness.
