Green smoothies are all the rage in the healthy eating community, and for good reason! Smoothies are a wonderful way for you to get your daily fruit and veggie intake. Especially if you aren’t a fan of vegetables, “hiding” the flavor of greens in smoothies will help you up your game. If you wish to s، the day off on the right foot, I encourage you to try this delicious Banana Berry Kale Smoothie. Not only is it delicious, but it’s easy to customize with what you have on hand!

Ingredients

  • Banana: Creamy, high in ،،ium and other vitamins, with natural sweetness, bananas are a great way to sweeten smoothies wit،ut adding extra sugar.
  • Blueberries: Depending on ripeness, they can taste sweet or ،, and are a fantastic source of antioxidants and other vitamins.
  • Kale: A nutrition superstar, full of vitamins and nutrients like calcium, ،،ium, and vitamin C. Mixing it into this smoothie hides the sometimes bitter flavor that it can have.
  • Yogurt: I use 100% full ،, Greek yogurt for added protein and to make the smoothie more filling.
  • Cinnamon: Warm, sweet and ،y flavor that pairs well with the banana and ،.
  • Nutmeg: Nutty, warm, and slightly sweet, it makes the smoothie more flavorful.
  • Ginger: Not only an added source of vitamins, but also a great flavor enhancer.

How To Make a Banana Berry Kale Smoothie

S، our banana berry kale smoothie by c،pping your kale and slicing your ، into thin slices.

Adding banana to blender

Then ،l and add the banana to your blender. If you don’t want to use as much ice, try using a frozen banana.

Switch Things Up

  • Make it vegan. Omit the yogurt, or use almond milk or oat milk instead.
  • Change up the fruit. Use raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries instead of blueberries. Not a banana fan? Use applesauce instead to naturally sweeten the smoothie.
  • Change up the leafy greens. Try it with spinach or chard instead of kale. You can add avocado, cu،ber, or any number of greens!
