I make this kale and berry smoothie every morning because it’s quick, easy, and healthy. The berries provide a bunch of antioxidants, the kale packs in nutrients, and the almonds give it a nice crunch and added protein!
Ingredients
- 1 banana, broken into chunks
- ½ cup mixed frozen berries
- ½ cup shredded kale
- ½ cup orange juice
- ½ cup water
- 10 almonds (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
Directions
Step 1
Combine banana, berries, kale, orange juice, water, almonds, and yogurt in a blender; blend until smooth, about 20 to 30 seconds.
Tips
If I don't have any kale on hand, I substitute with spinach. I'll add a scoop of protein powder if I'm looking for more protein. Using just water works if you don't have any orange juice on hand.
