Kale & Ginger Smoothie

13 ingredients
3 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond milk or coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon chia seeds
  • 1 banana
  • 1/2 cup blueberries - frozen will do
  • 1/2 fresh apple (i use the soft apples for my smoothies)
  • 1/2 cup kale - washed well and stem removed
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger (I use a chunk of peeled fresh ginger)
  • 1/4 cup parsley - washed (use stems as well)
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric - ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon flax seeds - ground
  • 1 teaspoon flax seed oil
  • 1/2 cup frozen fruit (mixed berries, peaches etc.)

Directions

  1. 1
    Pour almond or coconut milk into a blender & add chia seeds to allow the chia seeds to soak for 5-10 minutes. (When you soak the seeds in the milk, they expand and become gelatinous, a property that aids digestion and contributes to their low glycemic index)
  2. 2
    Add all remaining ingredients and blend until chunks are liquified and the smoothie is the consistency you desire.
  3. 3
    Pour into 2 large glasses and enjoy.
