This Citrus Banana Kale Smoothie combines the sweetness of bananas, the tanginess of orange, and the health benefits of kale to provide a refreshing and nutritious drink. It's perfect for a quick breakfast or post-workout refreshment.

Ingredients:

2 bananas
240g
1 orange
130g
1 cup kale
70g
1/2 cup water
120g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Peel the bananas and break them into smaller chunks for easier blending.
- Peel the orange and separate it into segments. Remove any seeds if necessary.
- Wash the kale thoroughly. Remove the thick stems, and roughly chop the leaves.
2. Blend the Ingredients:
- Place the banana chunks, orange segments, and kale leaves into a blender.
- Pour in the 1/2 cup of water to help the blending process.

3. Blend Until Smooth:
- Secure the lid on the blender.
- Start blending on a low speed, gradually increasing to a high speed, until the mixture is smooth and creamy. This should take about 1-2 minutes, depending on your blender.

4. Check Consistency:
- If the smoothie is too thick, you can add a little more water, a tablespoon at a time, and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
5. Serve:
- Pour the smoothie into glasses.
6. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing, nutritious Citrusy Banana Kale Smoothie!

Tips:

- For a creamier texture, try adding a handful of ice cubes or replacing water with a dairy-free milk alternative.

- If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, consider adding a teaspoon of honey or agave syrup.

- Make sure to blend the kale thoroughly to avoid any chunky bits in your smoothie.

- For an extra protein boost, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
