Ingredients
Fruits
- 12 chunks frozen mango
- 1 banana
- 1 large kiwi, peeled
Greens
- 2 cups torn kale leaves, stems removed (massaged if desired)
Liquids
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
Optional Add-ins
- A sprinkle of flax or chia seeds
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Gather all your ingredients – torn kale leaves with stems removed (massaged if preferred for easier blending), frozen mango chunks, peeled banana, peeled kiwi, and coconut milk. If using, have flax or chia seeds ready for added nutrition.
- Blend the smoothie: Place the kale, frozen mango, banana, kiwi, coconut milk, and optional seeds into a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, breaking up the kale thoroughly for a creamy consistency. The blending time may vary depending on your blender’s power.
- Adjust texture and taste: If the smoothie is too thick due to frozen mango and banana, add a little more coconut milk or a splash of water to reach your preferred consistency. If using fresh mango instead of frozen, consider adding frozen banana to thicken the smoothie. Adjust sweetness or kale ratio to suit your taste preferences.
Notes
- Massaging the kale leaves before blending can help soften their texture and make the smoothie smoother.
- Using frozen fruits results in a thicker, chilled smoothie without needing ice.
- Adjust the fruit-to-kale ratio gradually if you’re new to green smoothies to balance taste and nutrition.
- Optional flax or chia seeds add fiber and omega-3 fats, enhancing the smoothie’s health benefits.
