Kale, Banana & Strawberry Smoothie
This is a nutrient-packed kale, banana & strawberry smoothie. It is loaded with fiber and healthy antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. When I’m home, this is a huge treat for me if I get to start my day with a yummy smoothie like this, as it preps my body to eat cleaner for the rest of the day. It is also great to drink this post-workout to replenish lost fluids and energy.

These are the solid ingredients that goes into my smoothie (not the actual amount and not to scale): there are kale, banana, strawberries, chia seeds and flax seeds. I always love to sneak in a banana in my smoothie for natural sweetness and to make it more filling. The liquid ingredients are coconut water and maple syrup (which one can omit if eating low-carb). I was using frozen banana and strawberries which I prepared in a sealed ziplock bag so that I can make smoothie anytime. You can replace strawberries with your favourite seasonal berries. You will need a high-powered blender to pulse the all the ingredients efficiently, especially if you are using frozen fruits. I’m using a 900W nutribullet which blends my smoothie in less than 30 seconds.
Sometimes I am the opposite. When I have a smoothie like this at the start of the day, I allow myself to indulge in more “sinful” foods for the rest of the day :p
Not really a smoothie fan, but this one looks relatively light yet quite yummy!
