Recipe Notes

This recipe is for 2 servings. Tips: Remove tough ribs from the kale and use a high-speed blender for smoother texture. Store the ingredients in the refrigerator for an extra-chilled, refreshing smoothie. Variations: For a creamier, more filling smoothie, use coconut milk or cream in place of almond milk. To increase the protein, add a scoop of your favorite vanilla or unflavored protein powder. This smoothie is not super sweet. To increase the sweetness, add a couple drops of liquid stevia. Storage: You can store your smoothie in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
