Is it okay to use only spinach or only kale?

Absolutely! Either green works beautifully solo. Spinach is milder and blends nearly invisibly, while kale offers a bit more body and nutrition. Use what you have and what you enjoy.

Do I need a high-speed blender, or will a regular blender work?

A regular blender is fine, especially if you blend the greens with the almond milk before adding the fruit. For the smoothest results, pulse well and scrape down the sides as needed.

Can I use water or another milk alternative?

Yes, you can swap in oat milk, coconut milk, or even plain water—just keep in mind it’ll slightly change the taste and creaminess. Almond milk is my favorite for its subtle flavor and lightness.

What if I want more protein in my smoothie?

You can easily mix in your favorite protein powder, a scoop of Greek yogurt (or plant-based yogurt), or add seeds like chia, flax, or hemp for a nutrient and protein boost.

Instructions

Blend the greens – Add the chopped spinach and kale into a blender with the Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almondmilk. Blend until the greens are completely incorporated and smooth. This ensures your smoothie will have a velvety texture and the greens are well distributed.
Add fruits and flavorings – To the blended greens, add the frozen mango, pineapple, and kiwi chunks, along with the freshly grated ginger and lemon juice. Blend until everything is very smooth. Pause to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
Adjust consistency – If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, add more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, and blend until you reach your desired consistency.
Serve – Pour the smoothie into glasses. Enjoy immediately for the freshest taste and maximum nutritional benefit.

Notes

If using fresh fruit instead of frozen, reduce the almond milk to 1 cup, then gradually add more to reach your preferred thickness.
You can also add 3-4 ice cubes before blending if you prefer a colder, thicker smoothie.
Drink immediately for best flavor and nutritional value.
Feel free to substitute other greens or fruits as desired for variation.
