Smoothies are my favorite and is a great way to include sufficient veggies in our diet. My daughters love smoothies and its quite regular in my house.

However, kale being a superfood I love to include this veggie in my recipe. Hence, my kale curry with cauliflower is the best go to meal.

Sometimes, I also bake savory oatmeal cups with kale in it for breakfast and we love the idea.

Health benefits of kale

It is a nutrient dense vegetable. Its loaded with antioxidant and is also rich in fiber. Along with being an excellent source of vitamin C it helps in lowering cholesterol, thereby reduces heart disease risk. Kale is also low in calories and has cancer fighting substances. Overall, its one of the superfood raw vegetable which should be consumed frequently.

Ingredients

This healthy kale smoothie is a power packed and antioxidant loaded recipe. Therefore, I would insist you to blend it ASAP and enjoy.

Ingredients notes

Kale – I used baby kale because it’s a bit more mellowed in taste than the adult kale. However, if you like the taste of raw kale then you may use the adult kale as well. In both the case this smoothie recipe would taste amazingly delicious.

Pineapple – I used the frozen pineapple chunks so that its easy for us to make it all year round. Moreover, the frozen fruits also give a nice thick texture making it more satisfying.

Mango – I again used frozen mango chunks to give this kale smoothie a nice tropical flavor. However, it can be enjoyed all year round.

Pomegranate – I used the frozen kernels to add a bit of crunch and sweetness to this smoothie.

Banana – this sweetens it naturally and balances the flavor of all the fruits in this vegan kale smoothie.

Dates – this adds fiber and nutrition and also sweetens it perfectly. These also balances out the flavor of kale making it a smooth flavored smoothie.

Coconut water – instead of adding dairy free milk to it I added coconut water to give it a lightened texture.

Chia seeds – as we all know it’s a super food rich in protein, fiber and other vitamins and minerals. It adds a lot of health to this smoothie.

Goji berries – it’s a super food too with lot of nutrition. Even though its optional in this recipe but if you get a chance to garnish it with goji berries it adds a chewy texture with delectable taste to this kale smoothie.

Fresh vs frozen fruits

Frozen fruits when blended in a smoothie recipe brings out a milkshake like thick texture which resembles a lot more like dessert. It looks pretty and is more satisfying also. Whereas, when fresh fruits are blended the smoothies are more thinner in consistency and easy to drink as a beverage.

Whichever form of fruits you use, this healthy and vegan kale smoothie is definitely a winner and a mind blowing recipe.
