Instructions

1. Start by washing and preparing your ingredients. Ensure the kale leaves are thoroughly rinsed and the banana is peeled.

3. Blend the mixture on high until the kale is fully incorporated and the smoothie is smooth.
4. Taste the smoothie and, if desired, add honey or maple syrup for extra sweetness. Blend again briefly to mix.
5. Add the ice cubes and blend until the smoothie reaches your desired consistency.
6. Pour the smoothie into tall glasses, garnish with a slice of lemon or a small kale leaf, and serve immediately with straws.

Helpful Tips

• For a creamier texture, consider adding a quarter of an avocado or a dollop of Greek yogurt.

• Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or using a ripe banana.
