Yields: 1 large smoothie bowl
Ingredients
- 1 cup chopped kale or baby spinach
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of your choice
- 1½ cups frozen mixed berries
- ½ frozen banana Yes, you can use a regular banana, but then you may have to add some ice to your smoothie bowl.
- 1-2 teaspoons light agave depending on how sweet you like things
Suggested Toppings:
- ½ banana sliced
- ¼ cup blueberries
- 2-3 strawberries sliced
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 2 tablespoons chopped almonds
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut shavings raw or toasted
- ¼ cup granola of your choice
Instructions
- Place the kale or spinach, chia seeds, and milk in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. (This will ensure that you don’t have any gross, chewy greens in your smoothie bowl.)
- Add the frozen mixed berries, banana, and agave to the blender. Puree, scraping down the sides of the blender periodically, until relatively smooth. Don’t be crazy about getting it completely smooth, people. You won’t be drinking this through a straw, so a little texture is good!
- Pour smoothie into a bowl and garnish with toppings of your choice. Serve immediately.
