Kale Smoothie Recipes

kale makes every smoothie go YUM!

Raw, vegan smoothie - the fruits make it nice and sweet!

I have recently discovered the kale smoothie, and have been utilizing the heck out of them as meal replacements! I blend the kale with liquid first, to get it all broken down, then add fruit and the protein which consists of either 1) milk and peanut butter or 2) Greek yogurt. The protein choice will also influence the fruit choice, of course. This recipe is using the peanut butter and milk protein, although I sometimes add cocoa powder, I didn't this time. I use sweetener if it's not sweet or appealing enough, and that could be any thing I have on hand at the time - agave, honey, Stevia, etc.

I also frequently add one or more of the following:
Flax seed, Wheat Germ, Wheat Bran, Oat Bran, etc. as well as additional spices.

Super healthy low cal smoothie treat

Great for a quick super healthy breakfast option. The banana and apple give it sweetness. Since this is blended and not juiced it also has some substance to it. I use it as a compliment to an egg sandwich or I double up the serving size for a breakfast or snack by itself. You can add flax or chia seeds for some added nutrition.
