Here it is, my favorite kale (and spinach!) smoothie. This is one of those get-your-behind-out-of-bed-and-jumpstart-your-day smoothies. A tropical kale smoothie, to be exact. And it’s delicious.
Actually, I made it yesterday morning for the first time by gathering a bunch of my favorite ingredients. I threw them in the blender and voilà! It was even more delicious than I was hoping for. Actually, by the time I finished the smoothie, I wished I had even more. That’s the first time in a long time that I’ve craved more of my green smoothie.
I tell ya, it’s life changing.
Okay, maybe not life changing, but it’s a pretty darn delicious way to start your day. And you can make it in less than 10 minutes! Success. Check out the recipe below!

I cannot lie. I’m so not a fan of green juices. They always sound like they could be appetizing, but I’ve never really pulled the plug and just gotten into them! I may need to try your recipe 😉
Let me know if you do! I feel like this is a good “gateway” green drink, it’s sweet and tastes like pineapple/mango instead of kale and spinach, which is ideal.

This looks and sounds delicious. Definitely worth hopping out of bed for!
It actually is so delicious! I’ve made many a green smoothies before that were definitely not, but this one’s a keeper for sure.

okay, so now that i saw this on twitter, i had to come and see how you make it. i can’t wait to give this a try, YUMMY! xx
Let me know what you think! I hope you love it as much as I do!

This sounds and looks really good! I have a silly question, can you add something like coconut water or milk to this?
Absolutely! And totally not a silly question. I use 1/2 cup of water to water down the smoothie a bit and 1/2 cup of plain greek yogurt, but these can totally be swapped out with things like coconut water, milk, or even seltzer if you want a bit of a kick. 🙂
