Kale Coconut Smoothie
Description
This smoothie combines almond milk and coconut water as its base, creating a light but creamy texture. Frozen banana adds natural sweetness and thickness, while fresh kale introduces a mild bitterness balanced by shredded unsweetened coconut and sweet dates. Cinnamon adds warm spice notes, enhancing the overall flavor profile.
The ingredients are blended with a high-speed blender until completely smooth. The smoothie can be adjusted for consistency by adding more almond milk if needed and tasting to balance sweetness. It is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for about a day.
To avoid a bitter taste, it is important to strip kale leaves from the stems before blending. Using frozen banana helps achieve a chilled, creamy texture without diluting flavor like ice might.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups almond milk unsweetened
- 1 cup coconut water
- 1 banana frozen
- 1 cup kale leaves
- ¼ cup coconut unsweetened, shredded
- 4 dates pitted
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a high-speed blender, and blend for 60-120 seconds until you get a smooth and creamy texture.
- Taste the smoothie, adding more milk if it is too thick or adding more sweetener if it’s not sweet enough. Pour into a cup or mason jar. Enjoy immediately, or store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Notes
- Remove kale stems before blending to prevent bitterness.
- Frozen bananas contribute to a creamier, chilled texture.
- Store leftover smoothie in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days; shake before drinking.
