Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • Ripe avocado (1/2 to 1 whole, depending on how creamy you like it)
  • Fresh kale (2 packed cups, stems removed; baby kale or curly kale both work)
  • Frozen banana (1 medium; sliced before freezing for easier blending)
  • Frozen pineapple (1/2 to 1 cup; mango is a good swap)
  • Unsweetened almond milk (or oat milk, coconut water, or regular milk)
  • Fresh lemon or lime (1; you’ll use the juice)
  • Fresh ginger (optional, a 1/2-inch knob, peeled)
  • Chia seeds or ground flaxseed (optional, 1 tablespoon for extra fiber)
  • Honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
  • Ice cubes (optional, if you want it extra thick and frosty)

Method
 

  1. Prep the kale. Rinse and remove the tough stems. Tear the leaves into smaller pieces. If you have baby kale, you can use it as-is.
  2. Layer your blender. Add liquids first (about 1 to 1 1/4 cups almond milk). Then add kale, avocado, banana, pineapple, and any add-ins like ginger or chia.
  3. Blend until smooth. Start on low and ramp up to high for 30–60 seconds. If it’s too thick, add a splash more liquid. If it’s too thin, add ice or a bit more frozen fruit.
  4. Taste and adjust. Squeeze in lemon or lime juice for brightness. Add a tiny drizzle of honey or maple if you want it sweeter. Blend again for a few seconds.
  5. Serve right away. Pour into a cold glass. If you’re taking it to go, use an insulated tumbler to keep it chilled.
