Here’s our famous Kale Smoothie recipe! Organic Kale, Pear, Orange and Mint. Put in your blender, blend until smooth, drink. You’ll feel better immediately! It’s a like a big B Vitamin shot.
The kale smoothie makes enough for 2, but you can also make extra for yourself later. It keeps for 10-12 hours in an opaque container. And, if you can, it’s better flavor and nutrient-wise to use all organic fruits and vegetables.
Kale Smoothie Recipe
(serves 2)
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch kale (red, purple, lacinato or tuscan kale all work here)
- 1 pear
- 2 oranges
- 7-10 sprigs of mint (about half a bunch) or parsley
- 8-10 oz. of water
- Ice
Preparation:
Peel oranges, chop into segments, add to blender with water to cover. Core the pear, add to blender. Blend until smooth. Add mint. Blend. Chop kale, slowly add to blender, blending the whole time, add water as needed. Blend until smooth (depending on how powerful your blender is you may need to blend longer, add more water). Add ice. As much ice as you need to make the drink cool. Blend for 15 seconds. Pour into 2-3 glasses. *Note: this is a great recipe to make your own, add what you love, play with it, make it to your taste. Sometimes I use parsley, swiss chard, spinach, or dandelion greens with the kale. And other times I’ll use a lemon with zest and blood oranges, when in season, with the greens. The point is to make it your own. And to FEEL BETTER NOW.
