Ingredients: 1 handful spinach; 1 handful kale; 1 cup water; 1 banana; 5 strawberries

So, about 3 weeks ago I bought myself a GIANT bag of kale, a GIANT bag of spinach, and LOTS of frozen fruit and I’ve had a green smoothie pretty much every single morning since then. I absolutely LOVE it and pretty much plan on this being my breakfast forever. I’ve experimented with quite a few different flavor combos. This Strawberry Banana Green Smoothie has been my go-to lately.

Instructions

In a blender, combine the greens and 1 cup of water. Blend on low-medium speed until the greens are completely liquified. This will take about 1 minute. At first it might seem like the greens aren't going to get blended down into the blender but just wait about 20 seconds and they will.

Once completely liquified, add in the fruit and blend until thoroughly combined. You might need to add a touch more water if it's too thick.

ENJOY immediately! :)

Tips & Tricks (5)

Freeze Your Greens First 🥶
Freeze your kale and spinach in portions before blending to create a thicker, creamier smoothie without diluting it with ice cubes.
Layer Ingredients Strategically 📚
Add liquids first, then greens, then frozen fruit to ensure the blender can grip and process everything evenly without getting stuck.
Massage Kale Before Freezing 🤲
Gently massage fresh kale with a bit of lemon juice before freezing to break down cell walls and reduce bitterness in your smoothie.
Balance Sweetness with Greens Ratio ⚖️
Use a 1:1 ratio of frozen fruit to leafy greens by volume to mask the bitter taste of kale while keeping the smoothie nutritionally balanced.
Blend in Stages for Smoothness 🔄
Pulse the greens with liquid first for 30 seconds, then add frozen fruit to blend for a silky texture without over-processing and generating excess heat.
