Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh kale leaves, stems removed
  • 1 banana (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup frozen pineapple or mango chunks
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt or plain yogurt (optional)
  • 3/4 cup almond milk (or milk of choice)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup (optional)
  • A few ice cubes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Add kale, banana, pineapple or mango, yogurt (if using), and almond milk to a blender.
  2. Blend until smooth and creamy. If needed, add more milk to reach desired consistency.
  3. Taste and add honey or maple syrup if more sweetness is desired.
  4. Add ice cubes and blend again if you want a colder, thicker texture.
  5. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Notes

  • Use frozen fruit to create a thicker, colder smoothie without needing extra ice.
  • Add avocado for extra creaminess or citrus juice for a refreshing twist.
  • Swap banana with cooked oats, mango, or apples for different flavors.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and yogurt alternatives.
  • Store leftovers in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake or re-blend before drinking.
