Liquid Base
Fruits & Greens
- 1 medium frozen banana
- 2 kale leaves, stems removed
- 2 to 3 small ripe peaches, frozen, or 1/2 to 1 cup diced mango, frozen
Flavorings
- ½ teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- ½ teaspoon matcha powder (optional)
- Ice (to taste)
- Prepare Ingredients: Remove stems from kale leaves and ensure frozen banana and peaches or mango pieces are ready. Grate fresh ginger carefully.
- Combine Ingredients: Add almond milk, frozen banana, kale leaves, frozen peaches or mango, grated ginger, and matcha powder (if using) into a high-speed blender.
- Blend Until Creamy: Blend all ingredients on high speed until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency without chunks.
- Add Ice and Blend Again: Add a handful of ice to the blender to chill and slightly thicken the smoothie. Blend again until the ice is fully crushed and incorporated.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use frozen fruits to make the smoothie naturally cold and creamy without adding ice cream or yogurt.
- Matcha powder is optional and adds a subtle green tea flavor with added antioxidants.
- Adjust ice quantity depending on your preferred smoothie thickness.
- To make it vegan and dairy-free, ensure almond milk is plant-based and no dairy alternatives are used.
- You can substitute peaches or mango with other frozen fruits like pineapple or berries based on availability.
