I know, that sounds gross, right!? It is SO GOOD. Even my 1-year-old and 2 1/2-year-old are diggin' it. I am not a salad lover, so anything to get me to eat green leaves is a plus! And it's dairy-free!
Ingredients:
1 heaping cup chopped kale leaves
1 heaping cup spinach leaves (I actually didn't have Kale or Spinach on hand today, but did have dark green lettuce so I used about 1 1/2 cups of it and it was delicious both ways!)
1 frozen banana
1 1/2 cups cold almond milk (I used Coconut Milk because that's my preference)
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 pear (I used the whole pear and it was scrumptious)
Directions:Remove kale leaves from their rough center stalk and coarsely chop.
In a blender, combine kale spinach and almond milk.
Blend until no big kale bits remain.
Stop blender and add banana honey and pear.
Blend until smooth.
*I also added 1/2 cup oats from another smoothie I've been making lately. It kept us full a little longer!
