Equipment

Ingredients

  • ½ cup milk (any kind)
  • 1 cup kale (chopped)
  • 1 apple (peeled, cored, and chopped)
  • 1 Medjool date (pitted)
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks

Instructions

  • Put milk, chopped kale, chopped apple, date, and frozen pineapple chunks into a blender. Secure lid.
    Place ingredients into the blender in the order listed.
  • Blend until smooth.
    Start the blender on LOW speed for 10 seconds. Increase speed to HIGH for a full minute.
  • Pour smoothie into a cup. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Be sure to cut the apple before adding it to your blender. Never try to blend a full apple.
  • Add ¼ cup Greek yogurt for a creamier smoothie.
  • If the smoothie is too thick, add a small amount of milk and blend for 10 seconds.
  • Omit the date if the recipe is too sweet for your liking.
  • Smoothies are only good for 1-2 days stored in the refrigerator in an airtight glass container. They lose their nutritional value and freshness quickly. The smoothie may separate sitting in the refrigerator, so give it a good stir before drinking.
