    IS IT OK TO PUT RAW KALE IN A SMOOTHIE?

    Yes! You can definitely put raw kale in a smoothie. And if you have a very powerful blender, leave the kale stems on in your smoothie because they have a lot of healthy fiber and nutrients too! My kale banana smoothie recipe tastes like fruit and does not taste like raw kale!

    TIPS TO MAKE A KALE SMOOTHIE THAT DOESN'T TASTE LIKE KALE

    Here are my tips on how to make a smoothie kale smoothie that does not taste like kale.

    USE FRESH KALE. Kale that has been sitting around for awhile starts to smell and will develop stronger kale taste. Make sure you're using as fresh as possible kale.

    ADD SWEET FRUITS. I added banana and pineapple in my kale smoothie and these two sweet fruits completely mask the flavor of kale. Mangoes are another excellent fruit to pair with kale.

    ADD SOME NUT BUTTERS. I love using cashew butter in my kale smoothies because cashew butter has a naturally sweet buttery taste that masks the taste of kale wonderfully.

    KEEP BLENDING UNTIL TOTALLY SMOOTH. You will have to blend this kale smoothie for longer than your typical smoothie. Keep blending it until it looks smooth and green and you don't see any leafy chunks of kale left.

    HOW TO MAKE A SMOOTH KALE SMOOTHIE THAT TASTES GOOD!

    Are you ready to make a delicious green smoothie?! Grab your blender and let's get started. This kale smoothie only takes about 5 minutes to make! A perfect healthy on the go work breakfast.

    STEP 1- ADD ALL INGREDIENTS TO A BLENDER

    In your blender add all your kale smoothie ingredients:

    • 2 cups fresh kale
    • 1 frozen banana
    • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
    • ¼ cup full fat unsweetened yogurt
    • 1 tablespoon cashew butter
    • 1 cup milk of choice

    STEP 2- BLEND TILL SMOOTH

    Turn your blender on medium to start and then work up to high speed. Keep your blender running until there are no leafy kale chunks left. You may need to turn your blender off once or twice and scrape down the sides depending on the type of blender you have.

    FAQ's

    Frequently asked questions about my healthy green smoothie recipe.

    Is it good to drink kale smoothie everyday?

    Yes! Drinking a green smoothie every day can help heal your gut and help with overall skin health and gut health. The nutrients in kale are essential for healthy skin structure and hormone balance.

    Which is better for you, spinach or kale?

    When you compare the two greens side by side, kale is much higher in a number of nutrients. However, both are excellent to add to your diet and extremely healthy! So choose which one you enjoy more.

    Should I put spinach or kale in my smoothie?

    Spinach is one of the best options to add to smoothies, since it has a mild taste. Kale can also be used in smoothies, but it should be paired with sweet fruits to disguise the stronger flavor.

      I love that you added some collagen to your healthy green smoothie! I also love adding spinach because it's so mildly flavoured that you can't even tell it's there!

      I love adding collagen to all my smoothies! It makes them soo fluffy and is totally flavorless!
