Ingredients
- 2 cups kale leaves
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 0.5 medium avocado
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 4 pieces ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the kale leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Shake off excess water and pat dry with a clean towel.
Step 2
Peel and slice the ripe banana into chunks for easier blending.
Step 3
Scoop the flesh from half a medium avocado, discarding the pit and skin.
Step 4
Peel a small piece of fresh ginger and grate it to get 1 teaspoon of grated ginger.
Step 5
In a blender, add the kale leaves, almond milk, banana slices, avocado, lemon juice, grated ginger, and ice cubes.
Step 6
Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk a tablespoon at a time.
Step 7
Taste the smoothie and adjust the flavor if needed, perhaps by adding a little more lemon juice for brightness.
Step 8
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately for the freshest taste.
