There is no better way to wake your body up in the morning than a green smoothie. It became my morning routine, and I try not to give this habit up even on very lazy mornings.

I usually start my day with a smoothie; a green smoothie, a pink berry smoothie, or a sunshine smoothie. They’re all good! But when I’m feeling like I need that extra kick to wake myself up, I always go for a green smoothie.

KALE PINEAPPLE SMOOTHIE INGREDIENTS

The ingredients can either be frozen or fresh, both work very well. But this will make a difference to the texture of the smoothie.

  • Frozen bananas – using bananas that are frozen give a super creamy texture.
  • Frozen pineapple – you can also use fresh if you prefer, but I always stock up on bags of frozen pineapple chunks to use in smoothies.
  • Fresh kale leaves
  • Chia seeds
  • Liquid – this can be nut milk or water.
  • Spirulina powder (optional).

HOW TO MAKE THIS VEGAN GREEN SMOOTHIE?

You need a blender. Or you can use a food processor if you don’t have a blender. But using a blender is preferred here.

Add all of the ingredients in your blender, and blend until smooth. However, be careful not to add all of the liquid at once, as adding it gradually will ensure that you get the desired consistency.

This smoothie is naturally sweet and doesn’t need to be sweetened, as the banana and the pineapple add sweetness to the smoothie.

Pouring the smoothie in a glass

Can I make a smoothie that will last me for 2 days?

I always prefer to drink the smoothie right away, but sometimes I end up accidentally making a large batch. In that case, I store the extra smoothie in the fridge in a glass sealed jar for up to 24 hours.

Is the smoothie going to separate? The answer is yes. All you need to do is take the jar out of the fridge, give it a shake, and enjoy!

Extra add ons

Feel free to add extra ingredients to the smoothie such as:

  • Hemp seeds
  • Nut butter
  • Turmeric powder (be aware that adding this will change the color of the smoothie)
  • Protein powder
  • Lemon or orange juice
  • Almond milk – it naturally adds a hint of sweetness to the smoothie. Alternatively, rice milk, soy milk, cashew milk, and coconut milk work great too.
