The trick to blending
Here’s a trick to blending this kale smoothie: first, blend the softer room-temperature fruits and liquid. In this case, it’s the banana, apple, kale, and water. Then add in the frozen ingredients: the frozen pineapple and ice. This helps it to blend easier: so you won’t need to endlessly stop, scrape, and start again!

Add-ins & variations
This kale smoothie is pretty perfect as is: but you can always mix it up with tasty additions! Here are a few options:
- Ginger: Add ½ teaspoon grated ginger to the mix.
- Mint or basil. Add a few fresh mint or basil leaves for an herbaceous spin.
- Coconut. A handful of shredded coconut adds a tropical flair.
Smoothie storage
Smoothies are best eaten immediately. But this kale smoothie actually lasts 1 to 2 days refrigerated, stored in a sealed container or a mason jar with the lid on. It may separate, which is perfectly natural. Just shake it up and you’re good to go!
