Blueberry Kale Smoothie
This blueberry kale smoothie is packed with health benefits from banana, almond milk, and greens and makes a quick, easy, and surprisingly satisfying breakfast.
Ingredients
- 1 cup vanilla almond milk, preferably unsweetened
- 1 to 2 cups loosely packed chopped kale leaves, (stems removed)
- 1 to 1 1/4 cups frozen blueberries, preferably organic
- 1 medium banana
- 1 to 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup ice
Instructions
- Dump the milk, kale leaves, blueberries, banana, and 1 tablespoon honey in a blender, preferably a high-powered one like Vitamix, and process until the kale is really tiny green flecks. (You may wish to start with 1 cup kale and then blend it and then, if you feel the taste and color of the smoothie can stand a little greening, add more kale to taste and blend away. The more kale you add, the more green your smoothie in flavor and in color.)
- Add the ice and blend until smooth. Taste and, if desired, add more honey to taste and blend again.
- Divvy the smoothie among 2 or 3 glasses and serve immediately.
