Kale Smoothie
Description
This smoothie combines plant-based almond milk with frozen banana and kale leaves to create a creamy base with mild natural sweetness. The addition of frozen peaches or mango adds further fruity notes and thickness. Fresh grated ginger introduces a subtly spicy warmth, while matcha powder—if used—adds an earthy flavor and green color. Blending these ingredients until smooth produces a rich, thick beverage.
Adding ice cubes and re-blending chills the smoothie and improves the mouthfeel, making it crisp and satisfying. The recipe suits a variety of occasions where a refreshing, vegetable-forward smoothie is desired.
Freezing kale before blending contributes to a frostier texture, so prep this ingredient ahead to improve results.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 medium banana frozen
- 2 kale leaves stems removed
- 2 to 3 peach frozen, or 1/2 to 1 cup diced mango, frozen, small ripe
- ½ teaspoon ginger grated fresh
- ½ teaspoon matcha powder optional
- ice
Instructions
- In a high-speed blender, combine the almond milk, banana, kale, peaches, ginger, and matcha, if using.

Notes
- Freezing the kale leaves before blending helps achieve a frostier, colder smoothie texture.
