Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond milk or dairy/vegan milk of choice
- 4 tablespoons chia seeds
- 4 cups kale loosely packed
- 2 medium bananas peeled and broken apart
- 2 oranges peeled and cut
- 2 cups tropical fruit frozen blend (see notes)
Instructions
- Fill the blender with all of the ingredients in the order listed, or in the order recommended for your blender (liquids should be closest to the blades and frozen fruit farthest from the blades).
- Blend for 45 to 60 seconds til you get a beautiful green and creamy smoothie.
- Pour, serve with extra chia on top, and enjoy!
Notes
Smoothies that contain bananas do not hold up well being saved in the fridge. It’s best to drink this right after making it.
If you would like to save some, freeze it in a freezer safe container and enjoy it as nice cream at a later date. Or, you can freeze it in popsicle molds!
Substitutions:
- almond milk — use your dairy / vegan milk of choice! Soy or coconut milk are great options.
- kale — substitute with spinach, Swiss chard, or other favorite leafy greens.
- bananas — fresh or frozen!
- frozen mixed tropical fruit blend (mango, pineapple, papaya, strawberries)
