Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh kale leaves
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 large banana
- 1 medium green apple
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
Directions
Step 1
Wash the kale leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities. If the kale is particularly tough, you may remove the central stem and use only the leaves.
Step 2
Peel the banana and cut it into chunks for easier blending.
Step 3
Core and chop the green apple, leaving the skin on for added fiber.
Step 4
Peel and grate the fresh ginger. You can adjust the amount of ginger to taste if you prefer a milder or more intense flavor.
Step 5
In a blender, combine the kale leaves, almond milk, banana chunks, chopped apple, lemon juice, grated ginger, and chia seeds.
Step 6
Add the ice cubes to the blender for a chilled and refreshing texture.
Step 7
Blend all the ingredients at high speed until completely smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender or add more almond milk for a thinner consistency.
Step 8
Taste the smoothie and adjust with more lemon juice or almond milk as needed to suit your preferred taste and consistency.
Step 9
Divide the smoothie evenly into two glasses and serve immediately for the freshest flavor.
