Kale Fruit Smoothie
This kale fruit smoothie is one of my favorite green smoothies! It's sweet, a little tart, and refreshing! When I'm craving a smoothie that is a little more bright, this is the one I turn to. With just 6 ingredients and packed full of nutrients, like vitamin C, fiber and antioxidants, it's a simple, nourishing smoothie you'll want on repeat.
Servings 1 smoothie
Calories 234kcal
Equipment
- 1 high-speed blender
Ingredients
- ¾ cup coconut water (regular water works too)
- juice from ½ lemon
- 1 cup torn kale leaves, packed
- 1 green apple, cut into 1" chunks
- 1 kiwi, quartered (see notes)
- 1 tbsp. honey
- 1 handful of ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- Starting with the coconut water, place all ingredients in a high-speed blender.
- Blend on medium-high until smooth. Taste and adjust as needed. Add more honey or lemon juice to taste. If it’s too thick, add more coconut water.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy!
Notes
- I use curly kale, but Lacinato, or even baby kale will work.
- Cut the ends from both sides of your kiwi, then cut the kiwi into quarters and add to your blender, skin and all (the skin is the most nutritious part!)
- If all ingredients are at room temperature when adding to your smoothie, I recommend adding in a handful of ice cubes.
