Kale Pineapple Smoothie

Our simple Kale Pineapple Smoothie is a great based green smoothie recipe! You can add additional smoothie ingredients like bananas, mangoes, spinach, cauliflower and more!

Green smoothies are delicious and can be very healthy too. A green smoothie shouldn’t just look great, you want it to taste great too! Smoothies are a great way to get leafy greens into your diet. By using pineapple instead of strawberries and other berries the smoothie will be a beautiful green color. We love the Kale Pineapple combination and you can also add in mangoes or bananas for sweetness and creaminess. Want to add some probiotics? Add in some organic kefir or greek yogurt.

Smoothies are easy to make and you can add in any fruits and vegetables you like in your smoothie. This is a simple green smoothie that you can definitely add more flavors to when blending. If you don’t like to taste the kale you want to use fruits that have a strong and powerful flavor, pineapple is really great for this task.

You can add in healthy fats like coconut, flax seed oil instead of the flax seed, greek yogurt, nut butter. This smoothie works well with whey protein powder or even plant-based protein powders. Add whatever flavor you want and just remove the pineapple from this kale smoothie.

If you’re trying to lose weight it’s important to remember what you are putting into your smoothie, don’t add too much sugar or fat. Calories can also quickly add up in a smoothie. Chew your smoothie and enjoy rather than chugging it down. A healthy smoothie is filled with healthy food!
