Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk unsweetened vanilla
- scant ¼ cup hazelnut toasted
- 3 or 4 large kale Add or sub raw spinach if desired, lacinato (dino) or regular, thick stems removed
- 2 ½ Tablespoons raw cacao powder
- 1 small frozen banana Or other sweetener of choice; for sweeter smoothie use more fruit or add stevia or maple syrup, or 2 to 3 medjool dates
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax or hemp seeds
- pinch of salt reduces bitterness of kale, sea salt
- large ice handful
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except ice in a blender, and blend until mostly smooth.
- Add ice, and blend again until thick and creamy. As with most smoothies, this is best consumed immediately. But you can also refrigerate it after blending to enjoy later in the day.
Notes
- Smoothie Tips:
- Start on low, and gradually increase the speed of the blender to high.
- If needed, stop to stir the ingredients or add liquid.
- Since this kale smoothie isn't made with a lot of frozen fruit, you may want to add ice. Ice also makes it nice and frothy.
- To make it more filling, add a scoop of plant-based chocolate protein powder.
