Kale Apple Banana Smoothie
Recently, I bought kale at the fresh market. It is a light green colored kale, (not the dark one) with its leafy greens that were soft to the touch.
The woman behind the stand suggested that I use raw Kale in my smoothies, to gain all the health benefits from eating raw vegetables.
With that said, I decided to add in my favorite fruits, such as sliced apples and bananas. I love Fuji apples and think they are the sweetest tasting apples.
Plus tossing in a frozen banana as well is how I made this quick smoothie for myself.
This brings me to why I had to try this Kale “thing” everyone was talking about, and I thought it would be a good idea to try it in a smoothie first.
Well, it was AMAZING! Refreshing and delicious tasting.
More Reasons to Consuming Kale…
- Kale’s health benefits are primarily linked to the HIGH concentration and excellent source of antioxidant vitamins A, C, and K; all the vitamins your body needs to fight free-radicals.
- Kale also contains sulfur-containing phytonutrients (I had to look this one up) which are health-promoting properties including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and liver-health-promoting activities.
- In addition, 1 cup of chopped, raw kale = 33 calories; 1g fat; 0mg cholesterol; 25mg sodium; 329mg potassium; 6g carbs.
I am always on the run in the mornings, and this smoothie helped me to get out the door feeling clean and satisfied for hours. Personally, I think it should be called the Healthy Kale Smoothie! 🙂
Anyway, have a great day everyone!

Hello! I just would like to offer you a big thumbs up for the excellent information you’ve got here
on this post. I am coming back to your web site for more soon.
Thank you, Mickie!
So healthy and a super smoothie! We are SO into smoothies in our house and this ones sounds perfect!mary x
Thanks Mary – I am now hooked on this kale smoothie- it is really fantastic !Have a great day!
Hey girls! So glad you're on the kale bandwagon. It's super tasty, isn't it? When I started eating kale a little over a year ago, I only ate it in smoothies. It's just so easy to drink your greens, right?
I then went to a vegan cooking class where the instructor taught us how to massage kale and she made the most amazing kale salad. I was then transformed and became a huge kale addict. You should try lacinato/dinosaur kale next and try it in a salad. It's a bit less bitter tasting than the lighter curly kale. Give my lacinato kale salad a try. It has turned kale lovers into kale haters.
Have a great weekend girls! xoxo, Jackie
Hey Jackie! I would love to try your kale salad, that sounds fantastic. I am so excited learning about something totally out of our comfort zone- you have no idea! Can't wait to try it in a salad – thanks so much 🙂
Welcome to the Kale community! This smoothie sounds perfect – can't wait to try it. If it will make me pretty like you two I'm going to eat it everyday!
Thanks Tricia! Yep – First time ever – we didn't grow up on Kale, never even tried it before either. But I loved it in my smoothie! You are so sweet! Thanks.
