Delicious Green Kale Spinach Smoothie

Quick Tip: If you don’t have a high-speed blender, be sure to cut the fruit into smaller pieces and remove the kale leaves from the tough stem for easier blender.

You can substitute the banana with frozen peach slices, mango or pineapple. For less sugar and additional nutrients and fiber, you could also do half fruit and half frozen cauliflower or zucchini.

For more volume, fiber and nutrition, try adding up to 1 cup cooked and frozen cauliflower, white sweet potato, squash or zucchini.

Note that, you will need additional liquid to account for the added volume. Other great additions include things like mushroom powders, chlorella, spirulina, hemp seeds, chia, flax or other superfood powders.

I would recommend using it but if you’d like to make the smoothie without protein powder, replace it with an additional half a frozen banana, 1/2 cup mango or pineapple, 3-4 dates or cooked and frozen white sweet potato.

If you have a high-speed blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec, there is no need to remove the stems. They have just as much nutrition and fiber and the leaves!

If you don’t have a high-speed blender, for easier blending, tear the leaves away from the tough stems and just use the leaves in the smoothie.

There are a lot of factors that play a roll in weight loss but your overall caloric intake and energy expenditure are key. Green smoothies can be helpful as convenient, calorie-controlled meal replacements, if they keep you satisfied and you enjoy them.

This smoothie is nutritionally well-balanced and under 500 calories, so it could be used to replace a meal. However, if you’re enjoying it outside of meals and weight loss is a goal, I’d suggest making it into 2 servings or omitting the nut butter to reduce the overall calories.

The great thing about kale is you can freeze it for smoothies, so it virtually never goes bad. And the great thing about cooking up kale for two whole weeks is our freezer is PACKED with kale.
