  • Frozen fruit: I like frozen berries like blueberries and strawberries for a berry kale smoothie, but any frozen fruit works.
  • Almond milk: Unsweetened almond milk is my preference but any dairy free milk, milk, orange juice or apple juice work.
  • Greek yogurt: Adds a boost of healthy protein!
  • Kale: Curly kale is most popular but use whatever raw kale you like or even swap to spinach.
  • Frozen banana: This will make the kale berry smoothie thick and creamy.
  • Ice cubes: To make your smoothie thicker.

Add-In’s and Variations

  • Superfood boost: Chia seeds, flax seeds, hemp seeds, bee pollen, collagen or protein powder add extra nutrients for a healthy breakfast.
  • Other frozen fruit: Peaches, pears, raspberries, cherries, or pineapple chunks all work.
  • Extra protein: Add some peanut butter, almond butter or even raw cashews.
  • Bright flavor: Add a squirt of fresh lime juice or lemon juice.
  • Ginger: Just a 1/2 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger adds a zing and warm flavor.
  • Coconut: A small amount of shredded coconut, coconut water, or coconut milk can add a tropical taste.

How to Make a Kale Smoothie

The best way to blend a berry kale smoothie is to first add your liquids and softer ingredients like Greek Yogurt. Next, add the frozen ingredients. This helps make it easier to blend!

  • Layer ingredients in blender: Add the milk and Greek yogurt to the bottom of your blender, then add remaining ingredients on top.
  • Blend until smooth: Blend ingredients until smooth (can add more ice or liquid as needed). It’s as simple as that!

Tips to Make the Best Kale Smoothie

  • Extra thick: Freeze your kale if you love extra thick, almost like ice cream smoothies. On that note, make sure all your fruit is frozen, too!
  • No high powered blender? Blend your almond milk with kale first and make sure the kale stems are removed from your kale leaves for best texture. You may need to stop and scrape the sides down and stir plus it will take longer to blend.
  • Taste and adjust: The best part of making a smoothie is making it suit your tastes! Try it and add more greens, more ice, more milk, honey or more fruit to find the perfect balance.
  • Turn it into a smoothie bowl. Make it extra thick like my PB&J smoothie bowl then top with some healthy homemade granola.
