Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the bananas and cut them into chunks.
- Core and chop the apple. You can leave the skin on for extra fiber.
- Wash the kale thoroughly and remove the stems, then chop the leaves.
- Place the banana chunks, chopped apple, and kale into a high-speed blender.
- Add the orange juice, 1/2 cup of water, and 1 cup of ice water into the blender. This helps to blend the ingredients smoothly and provide the desired consistency.
- Add the tablespoon of flaxseed to the blender. This ingredient is great for adding additional fiber and healthy fats.
- Secure the blender lid and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and there are no visible chunks of fruit or kale. This should take about 1-2 minutes depending on your blender's power.
- If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more water and blend again. If it's too thin, you can add a few more banana chunks or a small handful of ice to thicken it up.
- Pour the smoothie into glasses.
- Your Kale, Apple, and Orange Smoothie is now ready to enjoy. This nutrient-packed smoothie is perfect for a refreshing breakfast or a healthy snack!
Tips:
- For an extra cold and refreshing smoothie, use frozen bananas or add a few ice cubes before blending.
- If you prefer a creamier texture, you can substitute the water for almond milk or any other milk of your choice.
- To save time in the morning, prep and chop all your ingredients the night before and store them in the fridge.
- Try adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder for an added protein boost.
- If the kale flavor is too strong, start with a smaller amount and gradually increase as you get accustomed to the taste.
Enjoy your delicious and nutrient-packed kale, apple, and orange smoothie as a quick breakfast or a refreshing snack. Not only will it give you a burst of energy, but it will also keep you full and satisfied for hours. Cheers to a healthy and tasty way to power up your day!
