Tropical Kale Smoothie

This is one of my favorite green smoothies, it has a clean, crisp, slightly tropical flavor. If you prefer to use your favorite nut milk instead of water or coconut water, that’s completely fine. It will slightly change the flavor profile but not by much.

Ingredients

  • 2 kale leaves About 1/2 cup any variety, center stem removed (substitute spinach or chard if you prefer)
  • 1 kiwi peeled
  • ½ banana peeled, frozen or fresh
  • ¼ cup pineapple chunks frozen or fresh
  • ½ avocado peeled and pitted
  • 1 tablespoon hemp hearts
  • 1 scoop collagen protein
  • 2 cups water or coconut water
  • ½-1 cup ice

Instructions

  • In a blender or Vitamix, combine all the ingredients. Start with the kale leaves so they are closest to the blade. Blend the smoothie either on the smoothie setting or on medium-high. You may need to stop the blender and stir. Add an additional ¼-½ cup water if the ingredients aren’t coming together or more ice if you'd like a slushier consistency.
