Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups almond or other nut/coconut milk
  • 2 cups baby kale
  • 1 fresh or frozen banana (cut into chunks)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen pineapple chunks
  • 2 tablespoons almond or peanut butter
  • 1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons high quality matcha green tea powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon spirulina (optional)

Method
 

  1. Combine all ingredients in a high-powered blender: nut milk, baby kale, banana, pineapple chunks, almond butter, vanilla extract, matcha powder, and spirulina (if using).
  2. Blend on high speed for 30-60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy.
  3. Adjust consistency by adding a splash more nut milk if too thick, then blend briefly.
  4. Pour the smoothie into a glass and serve immediately.
  5. Optionally, serve over ice for an extra chilled beverage.
  6. For make-ahead, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Stir well before serving.

Notes

- Use frozen banana and pineapple for a thicker, colder smoothie.
- For extra protein, add a scoop of your favorite vanilla or unflavored protein powder.
- Adjust matcha quantity to your preference; start with less if you're new to the flavor.
