Kale Banana Mango Green Smoothie

I am a huge fan of smoothies, they are such a great alternative way to getting the proper daily servings of fruits and veggies. There has been a lot of buzz lately about the latest craze: green smoothies. I have personally never made one (until today) because I was a little hesitant about the color and consistency of the smoothie. After doing some research and understanding more about this phenomenon I decided to give it a try.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup raw kale, chopped
  • 1 banana, broken into pieces
  • 1 cup frozen mango
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds (optional)
  • 1 squeeze of lemon
  • 1 cup almond milk

Step 1: Add mango, banana and kale to blender. 

Step 2: Add chia seeds, almond milk and lemon to blender.

Step 3: Blend until smooth and enjoy!


This smoothie is about 300 calories and packed with all kinds of healthy supplements. Since this smoothie is higher in calories, it can replace a meal or become a snack. I was pleasantly surprised with how the smoothie tasted, I could barely taste the kale. Green smoothies will definitely be making more appearances on my blog for sure!

I found a simple blueprint on Pinterest on how to perfect the Green Smoothie. As you can see, there are unlimited options for making the perfect Green Smoothie, don't be scared and give it a try!! Click Here!!
