i was thinking of trying to make a kale smoothie. i also have a bunch of bananas. anyone have a kale smoothie recipe? preferably with banana??

I kinda make it up as a i go, I'll put a frozen bananna, whatever other frozen berries I have, either almond milk or coconut water, 2 Tbl Flaxseed and I play around with the ratios until its a good consistancy and the flavor is good. When I first started i didn't use as much veggies until I got used to the taste.

Re: kale smoothies

This morning I had a smoothie with almond/coconut mixed milk, 2 handfuls of kale, some fro pineapples, fro mangoes, a scoop of vanilla protein powder and cardamom and cinnamon. You could easily add fro bananas to that.
I also like: almond/coconut milk, fro bananas, fro blueberries, coffee, cocoa powder, peanut butter and kale.

i make it up as i go, as well.

i throw in a little of the liquid i'll be using (almond milk or water) in the blender with a bit of kale and blend for as long as i can stand there... this way the kale can be broken up as small as possible.

then i throw in whatever i have on hand. i throw in chia seeds, a little flax seed, a little protein powder and all the fruit i can find. i especially like the bananas to be extra ripe, this way they're sweet.

something else i heard in a podcast: juice the kale and whatever other veggies you want and use that juice as your liquid for your smoothie. i only do this when i'm in the mood to clean up extra... because you're using two appliances instead of just the blender.
