Banana, Blueberry and Kale Smoothie
The kale gives this a slightly grassy flavor complemented with just enough sweetness from the fruit, and the almond butter and flax add touch of nuttiness. Look at all you get to start your day for around 250 calories, and it easily sustains you to lunch. I hope you enjoy it as much as me.
Ingredients
- 2 large handfuls chopped kale
- 1/2 fresh banana (save other half in fridge for next day)
- 1/2 cup frozen blueberries
- 2 T ground flax
- 1/2 cup skim or nut milk (I use cashew)
- 1 tsp almond butter
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup water (if too thick)
Notes
I put all ingredients in my Ninja smoothie container and select the smoothie setting (which blends for 50 seconds). After the first time I process it, I’ll check to how thick it is and add water as needed.
Note: You’ll need a quality blender that has the power to get the job done so it blends up smooth without leaving behind grainy or leafy bits.
