A green smoothie a day keeps the doctor away! Or so they say. I’m not sure if that’s true, but I do know that this super simple green smoothie is packed with nutrients and very tasty too! It only has five ingredients, and you can easily swap out the frozen kale for fresh spinach from your garden. Just note that if you use kale, your smoothie will be more purple than green. The ingredients are 1 ripe banana, 1 cup frozen raspberries (or your favourite berries), 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup frozen chopped kale stems, and 1 cup cold water or 2% milk. Simply combine all the ingredients in a high-speed blender and purée until smooth. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 1 ripe banana 

• 1 cup frozen raspberries (or your favourite berries) 

• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt 

• 1⁄2 cup frozen chopped kale stems 

• 1 cup cold water or 2% milk 

Instructions

1. Combine banana, berries, yogurt, kale and water in a high-speed blender and purée until smooth. Serve immediately.

Notes

Tip: I find Greek yogurt too pasty to eat on its own, but it’s perfect here and adds a welcome protein boost. This isn’t an overly sweet smoothie, so use vanilla yogurt if you prefer yours on the sweeter side. 

Switch it up: No frozen kale? Add half a ripe avocado instead and increase the water to 1 ½ cups.
