Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup kale (stems removed)
- 1 banana, sliced
- 1 cup mixed berries (frozen or fresh)
- 1 cup almond milk (or other milk of choice)
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional)
Instructions
- Prep Your Ingredients: Remove the stems from your kale, slice the banana, and measure out your mixed berries.
- Blend the Greens: Toss the kale into your blender first along with a splash of almond milk (about 1/4 cup). Blend on high until it’s a smooth green puree.
- Add the Goodness: Next, throw in the banana, mixed berries, and the remaining almond milk. Blend until it’s a gorgeous, creamy texture.
- Chia Seeds Time: If you’re adding chia seeds, toss them in and pulse the blender a couple more times to incorporate them.
- Taste and Adjust: Take a tiny sip to see if it’s sweet enough or if it needs more milk. Adjust accordingly, blend again, and voilà — your smoothie is ready!
- Serve It Up: Pour your beautiful smoothie into your favorite glass or bowl and top with extra berries or chia seeds.
Notes
For a touch of café charm, serve in a mason jar with a colorful straw, and consider adding whipped coconut cream or granola for a fun crunch.
