How To Make Berry Kale Coconut Smoothie

Ingredients:

• 1 cup mixed berries (such as strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
• 1 small ripe banana
• 1/2 cup chopped kale leaves (stems removed)
• 1/2 cup coconut water
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)
• Ice cubes (optional, if you prefer a colder smoothie)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Wash the mixed berries thoroughly and remove any stems.
   • Peel the banana and chop it into chunks.
   • Remove the stems from the kale leaves and chop them into smaller pieces.
   • Measure out the coconut water, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup (if using), and ice cubes.
2. Blend the Ingredients:
   • In a blender, combine the mixed berries, banana chunks, chopped kale leaves, coconut water, Greek yogurt, and honey or maple syrup (if using).
   • If you prefer a colder smoothie, you can add a handful of ice cubes as well.
   • Blend on high speed until all the ingredients are well combined and the smoothie reaches your desired consistency. If the smoothie is too thick, you can add more coconut water to thin it out.
3. Taste and Adjust:
   • Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding more honey or maple syrup.
   • You can also adjust the thickness by adding more coconut water if necessary.
4. Serve:
   • Once the smoothie is blended to your liking, pour it into glasses.
   • You can optionally garnish with a few extra berries or a kale leaf for presentation.
5. Enjoy:
   • Serve the berry kale coconut smoothie immediately and enjoy its refreshing flavor and nutritious goodness!

Tips:

• Feel free to customize this smoothie with your favorite berries. You can use fresh or frozen berries, depending on availability.
• If you don’t have kale, you can substitute with spinach or another leafy green of your choice.
• Coconut water adds natural sweetness and electrolytes to the smoothie, but you can also use almond milk or another liquid of your choice.
• Greek yogurt adds creaminess and protein to the smoothie, but you can use dairy-free yogurt for a vegan option.
