Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups kale leaves
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 medium ripe banana
- 0.5 medium avocado
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 4 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Rinse the kale leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris. Shake off excess water and pat dry with a clean towel.
Peel and slice the ripe banana into chunks for easier blending.
Scoop the flesh from half a medium avocado, discarding the pit and skin.
Peel a small piece of fresh ginger and grate it to get 1 teaspoon of grated ginger.
In a blender, add the kale leaves, almond milk, banana slices, avocado, lemon juice, grated ginger, and ice cubes.
Secure the lid on the blender and blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes. If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk a tablespoon at a time.
Taste the smoothie and adjust the flavor if needed, perhaps by adding a little more lemon juice for brightness.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and serve immediately for the freshest taste.
