Kale and Banana Smoothie

2020: This smoothie was delicious, but the texture was chewy. I used a Ninja blender for several minutes and couldn't get a smoother texture. I made mine with unsweetened almond milk, ground flax seeds and added a handful of baby spinach. The smoothie tasted great, was quick to make and if it wasn't for the visible bits of kale, you wouldn't know it was in there.2024: I tried this with my new Vitamix and the texture was smooth. It was a delicious afternoon snack that tastes so much better than it looks. Will definitely make often.

Good smoothie--made it great by using a frozen banana and adding 3 ice cubes. I left the flax out, just because I wasn't sure if my husband would like it, but I'm sure it would be good in this. I used unsweetened almond milk instead of soy and istead of maple syrup, I used a packet of Splenda. DH wants me to make this again.

it's actually surprisingly good. As a food alone, I do not like kale, but it's very good for you. Try it with banana, you'll be surprised. The key is to be sure to a add 15 ice cubes and blend.

I liked this a lot. I added a second banana because I'm not a huge fan of kale (but kale is so good for you, I want it for the nutrients!) It made for a thicker smoothie, but balanced the flavor pretty nicely. I also substituted a teaspoon of natural vanilla-infused honey instead of the maple syrup. Overall, I recommend!
