Ingredients

Scale

Liquid Base

  • 1 cup almond milk

Fruit

  • 1 medium frozen banana
  • 2 to 3 small ripe peaches, frozen, or ½ to 1 cup diced mango, frozen

Greens and Flavorings

  • 2 kale leaves, stems removed
  • ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • ½ teaspoon matcha powder (optional)

Add-ins

  • Ice, as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Remove the stems from 2 kale leaves to ensure a smoother texture. Use frozen banana and peaches (or mango) to achieve a thick, chilled smoothie without dilution.
  2. Combine in Blender: In a high-speed blender, add 1 cup almond milk, the frozen banana, kale leaves, frozen peaches or diced mango, grated fresh ginger, and matcha powder if using. These ingredients create a balance of creamy, sweet, and earthy flavors.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until it becomes creamy and well combined, ensuring the kale is fully broken down for a smooth consistency.
  4. Add Ice and Blend Again: Add a handful of ice to the blender and blend once more to chill the smoothie further and reach your preferred thickness. Adjust ice quantity to achieve desired temperature and texture.

Notes

  • Use frozen fruit to avoid watering down the smoothie and maintain a thick texture.
  • Removing kale stems improves the smoothie’s texture by avoiding any fibrous bits.
  • Matcha powder is optional but adds a subtle earthy flavor and a caffeine boost.
  • Adjust the amount of ice based on desired thickness and chill.
  • This smoothie can be customized by substituting other leafy greens or fruits based on preference.
