Description
A simple, nutritious smoothie that combines the goodness of kale and banana with a touch of honey. It’s a refreshing, versatile drink that’s perfect for breakfast, a snack, or post-workout refueling.
Ingredients
1 ½ cups baby kale
1 small banana, sliced
2 teaspoons honey
5–6 ice cubes
1 cup reduced-fat milk or nondairy milk
Instructions
- Add kale, banana, honey, ice cubes, and milk (or nondairy milk) to a blender.
- Blend on medium-low speed, using the tamper as necessary, until all ingredients are well combined.
- Increase the speed to medium-high and blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Notes
- Add a scoop of protein powder or nut butter for an extra protein boost.
- For more greens, add a handful of spinach.
- Try swapping the banana with mango, pineapple, or berries for a fruity twist.
- Use maple syrup or agave instead of honey for a different flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 24 hours, though the texture may change.
- If you like a colder smoothie, freeze the banana slices beforehand or add more ice.
