This Super Fruit Kale Smoothie is a quick and easy healthy breakfast or snack! With just a handful of nutrient-packed ingredients, this is the perfect kid-friendly fruit and veggie smoothie.
Superfood Smoothies
We all know how good kale is for us, so it only makes sense to combine it with other superfoods like strawberries.
Given how bright and beautiful the berries in my local grocery stores have been, it seemed like a shame to pass them up. Full of nutrients like vitamin C, manganese, potassium, and fiber, berries of all kinds are a great way to boost your immunity and help fight off those pesky spring sniffles. Basically, when consuming them with kale, you’re basically invincible.
Kale Smoothie Ingredients
Made with six simple ingredients, this kale smoothie is the definition of easy.
- Non-dairy milk – Milk is an essential ingredient to create a smooth and creamy texture.
- Strawberries – Fresh or frozen berries of any kind can be used. Just make sure the stems have been removed!
- Honey or maple syrup – Honey is a great natural alternative to the loads of sugar commonly found in store bought smoothies. You can use maple syrup for vegan option!
- Kale – If you use fresh Kale, be sure to soften it with lemon juice. Or, just toss it in frozen instead.
- Almond butter (or any other nut/seed butter) – Almond butter is full of healthy fats to keep you full and satisfied. If you need a nut free version, try adding cream sunflower seed butter!
- Cinnamon (optional) – Similar to salt when baking, cinnamon brings out the natural flavors of the other ingredients.
Health Benefits of Strawberries
The health benefits of strawberries are plentiful. They naturally deliver vitamins, fiber, and particularly high levels of antioxidants. They are one of the top 20 high-antioxidant fruits and are also a good source of manganese and potassium. Just one serving (about eight berries) provides more vitamin C than an orange. (source)
How to Make Strawberry Sale Smoothies
Smoothies are one of the easiest ways to ensure you’re getting enough vitamins, minerals, and micronutrients. And when it’s this tasty, you’ll look forward to sipping one down every morning.
- Measure. You’ll want to start by measuring out all of the ingredients.
- Prepare ingredients. Make sure the produce has been washed, the berry stems have been removed, and the Kale has been softened.
- Blend. Toss all of the ingredients in a blender, and blend on a medium to high speed until smooth.
- Enjoy! Yes, it’s really that easy!
Customize Your Smoothie
If you’re looking to bulk this strawberry kale smoothie up a notch and increase the protein content, take a look at the following optional add-ins.
- Greek yogurt: Of course, if you’re lactose intolerant, opt for dairy-free yogurt options. Vanilla is my go-to, but experimenting with different flavored yogurts can be fun!
- Protein powder: Consuming adequate protein can help build muscle, maintain strong bones, reduce hunger levels, and more. I recommend adding a collagen or vegan protein, but any you have on hand will do!
- Banana: Nature’s candy, if the veggie flavor is still too strong for you, adding a banana is an easy way to add even more sweetness to your Kale smoothie without piling in tons of added sugar.
- Avocado – This fruit can be used in place of almond butter in order to provide a smooth texture and creamy taste.
- Dates – Pitted dates are also nature’s candy and a great way to add sweetness without refined sugar. Not to mention fiber packed! For the whole30 smoothie option, swap the maple/honey for dates! Easy peazy!
- Fresh Mint – This is a soothing herb that definitely compliments the sweetness of strawberries. It’s also a natural digestive.
- Other super fruit BERRIES! If you have an abundance of blueberries or blackberries, then feel free to add those in. Just more super fruit superfood love!
