Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh kale leaves
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 0.5 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 4 units ice cubes
- 0.5 cup water
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the kale leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Shake off excess water and cut off the tough stems, if desired.
Step 2
Peel the ripe banana and break it into smaller pieces for easier blending.
Step 3
In a high-speed blender, combine the kale leaves, almond milk, banana, frozen pineapple chunks, lemon juice, chia seeds, ice cubes, and water.
Step 4
Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes depending on your blender.
Step 5
Taste the smoothie, and if desired, adjust the consistency with more almond milk or water to reach your preferred thickness. Optionally, add more lemon juice for an extra citrusy kick.
Step 6
Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
Step 7
Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of chia seeds or a lemon slice on the rim of the glass.
