Easy yet delicious banana, blueberry and kale smoothie. This smoothie is being made at least once a week in my household. Not only is it packed with nutritious ingredients, but it is one of my favorite flavor combinations ever! Smoothies have been my go-to breakfast for awhile now. Not only are they super quick to make, but they are light, filling, give me energy throughout the day, and they don’t make me bloated – who wants to start their day bloated?!

But the very best reason to start your day with a smoothie is for it’s nutritional profile, thanks in large part to the leafy greens. Let’s take a closer look at this smoothie in particular. Just this one kale smoothie (using soy milk as the nondairy milk of choice) has roughly all your daily recommended vitamin B6, vitamin K and manganese, as well as 60% of your vitamin A, 66% of your vitamin C, 65% of your copper, and 61% of your potassium. It’s also incredibly high in B vitamins, magnesium, folate, iron and fiber. Hard to start off the day with something better than that!

Cooking essentials:
  • A blender
Substitutions:
  • Medjool dates: you could omit entirely or use pure maple syrup for extra sweetness. Make sure your medjool dates are pitted!
  • Kale: any dark leafy green will work just as well.
  • Plain nondairy milk: I prefer plain soy milk in my smoothie, but you can use any type of plain nondairy milk of your choosing (soy, oat, almond, cashew, coconut, hemp, etc.).
  • Frozen blueberries: if you don’t have frozen blueberries, you can instead use fresh blueberries, but you will need to add 1-2 cups of ice to make the smoothie colder.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium ripe bananas

  • 1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries

  • 1 cup fresh kale

  • 1/2 cup plain nondairy milk (I use soy milk)

  • 2 pitted medjool dates (optional)

Directions

  • Add all ingredients to a blender and blend on high until smooth. Enjoy immediately or refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

Notes

  • Most fresh smoothies will start to separate with time, which is why I recommend enjoying it immediately or storing it in the fridge for just 1-2 hours.
  • This recipe makes 1 – 16 oz. smoothie. Size will vary slightly depending on the size of the bananas.
