Notes
- Use a high-speed blender for a smoother texture: A good quality blender will make your smoothie creamy and smooth, especially when using ingredients like kale and apple.
- Thickening Your Smoothie: If your smoothie is too runny for your liking, try adding a few ice cubes or a handful of frozen fruit before blending. This will help maintain a creamy texture without watering down the flavors.
- Choose the right protein powder: For this Power Smoothie Recipe, I used plant protein powder. It has only 3 plant-based ingredients, and it boosts the smoothie's nutritional value. If you're a fan of collagen, then you will enjoy this glyphosate-residue-free, clean collagen sourced from Brazilian pasture-raised cows.
- Can I add nut butter? Yes, absolutely! Nut butter like almond butter or peanut butter would work great!
- Refrigerator: If you have any leftovers of this healthy smoothie recipe, pour it into an airtight container and store it in the fridge. It will keep for up to 24 hours.
- Freezer: I don’t recommend freezing this smoothie since it will affect the texture and consistency. It’s best to have it fresh.
