Green smoothie with kale, orange, blueberries and chia seeds

This post-workout green smoothie is a perfect blend of nutrient-rich ingredients designed to help replenish your energy and support muscle recovery. Packed with kale, coconut milk, orange, pineapple, blueberries, and chia seeds, this delicious smoothie is both refreshing and highly nutritious.

Ingredients:

2 cups kale
130g
1 cup coconut milk
240g
1 orange
140g
1 cup pineapple
250g
1 cup blueberries
150g
1 oz chia seeds
27g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Wash the kale thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.
- Peel the orange and remove any seeds. Break it into smaller sections.
- If you're using fresh pineapple, peel and core it, then cut it into chunks.
2. Blend the Greens:
- Place the 2 cups of kale into the blender first. Adding the greens first helps them blend more easily.
- Pour in the 1 cup of coconut milk. The liquid will help to break down the kale for a smoother texture.
3. Add the Fruits:
- Add the sections of 1 peeled orange.
- Add 1 cup of pineapple chunks.
- Add 1 cup of blueberries.
4. Final Ingredients:
- Sprinkle the 1 oz of chia seeds on top of the other ingredients in the blender.
5. Blend Until Smooth:
- Place the lid securely on the blender. Start blending at a low speed and gradually increase to high. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, with no visible chunks of fruit or kale.
6. Check Consistency:
- If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add a little more coconut milk or water and blend again. If it’s too thin, add a few more pieces of pineapple or blueberries and blend again.
7. Serve:
- Pour the smoothie into glasses.
8. Enjoy:
- Enjoy immediately for the best taste and nutritional benefits.

Tips:

- For a smoother texture, blend the kale and coconut milk first before adding the fruits and chia seeds.

- If you like your smoothies colder, use frozen pineapple and blueberries or add a few ice cubes to the blender.

- To save time, prepare the ingredients in advance and store them in the freezer in pre-measured portions.

- Feel free to substitute coconut milk with almond milk or any other preferred milk alternative.

- For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the mix.

With just a few simple ingredients and minimal preparation, this post-workout green smoothie is an excellent addition to your fitness routine. Enjoy this delicious and nutrient-packed beverage to help refuel your body and support your overall health.
