Ingredients
Scale
Fruits & Vegetables
- 1 cup kale (chopped, thick stem removed)
- 1 medium ripe avocado
- 1 cup blueberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 large banana (fresh or frozen)
Liquids
- 1 cup milk (any variety, almond, oat, or cow’s milk)
Optional Add-ons
- Honey or maple syrup (to taste, optional)
- Extra blueberries or chia seeds for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Measure out all ingredients. Chop the kale removing thick stems, and cut the avocado. Make sure your blueberries and banana are ripe and ready to use.
- Add liquids to blender: Pour the milk into a high-speed blender first to facilitate smoother blending.
- Add the kale: Toss the chopped kale into the blender on top of the milk.
- Include creamy elements: Add the ripe avocado and banana, which will make the smoothie creamy and rich in texture.
- Add blueberries: Add the blueberries last. If using frozen blueberries, you may need to adjust the milk quantity to reach your desired consistency.
- Blend: Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth. Add more milk if the smoothie is too thick for your liking.
- Adjust sweetness: Taste your smoothie and add honey or maple syrup if additional sweetness is desired. Blend briefly to mix.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into your favorite glass or mason jar. Optionally, top with extra blueberries or a sprinkle of chia seeds for added texture and garnish.
Notes
- Using frozen fruit can make the smoothie colder and thicker, so adjust the milk accordingly.
- The avocado adds creaminess without overpowering the flavor, making it a great dairy-free alternative.
- Honey or maple syrup is optional depending on your sweetness preference.
- For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
- This smoothie is best consumed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
