We're still on a quest for good smoothies. My partner still wants to use kale. While he was out of town in January, I tried a new smoothie that has kale but is primarily fruit.
We tried the second smoothie (kale and banana) on this page a while ago. It was good, but the cinnamon was too strong. This time I made the third smoothie. The instructions (such as they are) read:
I had almost all the ingredients, but I made a few changes.
Firstly, everything was frozen except the milk, yogurt, and banana.
Secondly, I didn't use protein powder.
Thirdly, I used regular vanilla yogurt. I had vanilla Greek yogurt, but I'm actually not a huge fan of Greek yogurt. Sometimes I feel like it, but usually I just don't like it much.
My smoothie turned out so pretty!
I was pretty surprised it wasn't green at all, but that was the point of this smoothie, right? I don't know if the kale being frozen had anything to do with it staying so amazingly not-green, but it definitely made the process easier. With everything being frozen, though, it was crazy thick.
Without a doubt, this is the tastiest smoothie (read: no ice cream) I've made yet.
It made probably 24 oz of smoothie. I put most of it in my 20 oz insulated Klean Kanteen and took it to work with me. It was hard to drink because it was insulated so well the smoothie couldn't really melt.
I'm really excited to make this one again and have my partner try it. We have some frozen spinach, so I may throw a bit of that in there too. Or maybe that will be for the third attempt.

If green drinks creep you out, give this recipe a whirl. Fresh raspberries and strawberries help disguise the kale and produce a pretty pink smoothie. Add pineapple, banana, a splash of milk, Greek yogurt, and protein powder to try it.
