Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Open the can of pineapple and measure out 1 cup (250g). If the pineapple chunks are too large, feel free to cut them into smaller pieces to make blending easier.
- Wash the kale thoroughly under cold water. Remove any tough stems and measure out 1/2 cup (33g) of packed kale leaves.
- Pour 1/2 cup (120g) of orange juice and set it aside.
- Place the pineapple chunks, kale leaves, and orange juice into a blender.
- If you prefer a colder, thicker smoothie, you can add a few ice cubes or use frozen pineapple chunks.
- Start the blender on a low setting to combine the ingredients. Gradually increase to a higher setting and blend until the mixture is smooth and all the kale pieces are well incorporated. This should take about 1-2 minutes depending on the power of your blender.
- Check the consistency of your smoothie. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more orange juice or water and blend again until you reach the desired thickness.
- Pour the smoothie into a serving glass.
- Optionally, you can garnish with a slice of pineapple, a sprinkle of chia seeds, or a few fresh kale leaves for a decorative touch.
- Serve immediately while it’s fresh and cold. Enjoy your healthy Pineapple Kale Orange Smoothie as a refreshing breakfast or a nutritious snack!
Tips:
- Make sure to drain the canned pineapple to avoid excess sweetness and syrup in your smoothie.
- For a smoother texture, blend the kale and orange juice first until the kale is completely broken down, then add the pineapple.
- If you want your smoothie colder, use frozen pineapple chunks or add some ice cubes during blending.
- Feel free to add a banana or a handful of berries for extra flavor and creaminess.
- For added nutrition, you can incorporate a scoop of protein powder or a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds.
There you have it—a simple and healthy Pineapple Kale Orange Smoothie that's bursting with flavor and nutrition. With its delightful balance of sweetness and greens, this smoothie is sure to become a favorite in your recipe repertoire.
