Description
Want to sneak more greens into your diet? Here’s how to make a refreshing kale smoothie, a creamy and satisfying green drink you’ll actually crave.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large green apple
- 1 banana
- 2 cups baby kale leaves, loosely packed (or Tuscan or curly kale*, roughly chopped)
- 1/2 cup water (or milk of choice)
- 10 ice cubes
- 2 cups frozen pineapple or mango
- 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Chop the apple, leaving the skin on. Break the banana into pieces and place them both in the blender. Add the water and baby kale leaves. Blend until smooth.
- Add the ice, frozen pineapple or mango, and lemon juice. Blend again until smooth.
Notes
*Our preference for the type of kale to use in a smoothie is baby kale. Tuscan kale is a second choice. Curly kale can work, but it has a spicy flavor and is more bitter than the other two. If you use this variety, you may want to start with less and add it to taste.
