Kale Berry Smoothie

My easy Berry Green Smoothie recipe is about to change your life. One of the biggest issues that I’ve had as a mom is getting vegetables into my children’s diet and this great smoothie is a game-changer.

I’ve never had a problem feeding either of my children fruit. Raspberries, strawberries, bananas, melon – they’re all acceptable and eaten at dinner. My daughter will eat most vegetables as well, but my son is a different story. If it looks funny, smells funny, or tastes funny, that’s the end of the discussion. 

This is a great smoothie because it has hidden veggies. With a deep red color from the combination of berries, the kale mixes in undetected. And with no additional sweetener, you can feel good about the amount of sugar you’re giving your family. 

There are lots of hidden health benefits to fruit smoothies. Between the sweet fruit and kale, you are getting good helpings of Vitamin C, Vitamin A, beta-carotene, and powerful antioxidants. 

Whether you are looking for the perfect snack or something for first thing in the morning, this easy smoothie is full of simple ingredients that may already be on your shopping list. Bright and refreshing, everyone is going to love strawberry blueberry kale smoothie recipe!

Can I Add Some Protein To The Smoothie Ingredients?

Yes! Many healthy smoothie recipes include a source of protein, so whether you’re looking for a boost in your afternoon snack or during breakfast, you can add chia seeds, hemp protein powder, flax seeds, or even peanut butter. These will put some extra nutrients into your healthy green smoothie. 

Recipe Notes:

  • Make sure that you have sliced off the hard kale stem are only using the kale leaves. If you don’t, even after blending, you may have some hard pieces floating in your mixed berry smoothie. 
  • If you want less liquid in your delicious smoothie, cut the fruit juice in half. 
  • I like to serve this to my kids in a glass jar or a mason jar so that they can see their special drink.

How To Make This Berry Green Smoothie Recipe

Ingredients:
1/2 cup blueberries
1/2 cup strawberries
1/2 cup bananas, sliced
1 cup kale (stems removed)
1 cup ice
1 cup orange juice

Three white bowls with sliced banana, sliced strawberries, and blueberries on a white table

Directions:

Wash your fresh strawberries, fresh blueberries, and kale under cold water. 

White bowls of sliced strawberries, bananas, and blueberries next to a metal cup of orange juice and a section of kale on a white tableTake out a cutting board and a sharp knife. De-stem your fresh berries and slice the fresh fruit into pieces. 

Sliced strawberries at the bottom of a blenderFold your fresh kale in half and slice off the kale stem. 

Sliced strawberries, bananas, and blueberries at the bottom of a clear blender cupGrab your blender and add the strawberries, banana pieces, blueberries, and orange juice. Blend them together. 

Blended fruit and orange juice with a leaf of kale inside in a blender cupAdd your kale and blend. You want to add this separately (if you are trying to hide the veggies) so that you can monitor how dark the leafy greens make the smoothie. You can always add more, so add the greens slowly. 

*Note – if you feel like the smoothie is suddenly too brown in color (because of the amount of kale added) and this bothers you, add some extra berries to brighten it up.

Can I Turn This Into A Spinach Berry Smoothie?

Yes! To turn this into a berry spinach smoothie recipe, add a handful of spinach to your refreshing smoothie instead of kale. You’ll want to use fresh spinach instead of frozen, but other than that, it should be an easy swap. 

Can I Turn This Into A Creamy Smoothie?

Yes! If you want to give this healthy smoothie a creamy texture, you definitely can. Take the orange juice out of the combination and turn it into a regular milk, coconut milk, almond milk, soy milk, or Greek yogurt smoothie.

If you want to include the orange juice in the combination, make sure that the orange juice and milk you use are the same temperature to keep the milk from curdling.

Can I Make This Green Smoothie With Frozen Fruit?

Yes! If you keep some mixed berries in the freezer, you can definitely use them here. Whether you have blackberries or raspberries included – any combination of frozen berries will be fine, so go with the kinds of berries you have on hand. You can also use frozen banana instead of fresh if you have some.
