Tips & Notes
- Strip the kale by gripping the base of each stem and pulling the leaves upward, then discard the tough ribs, which are bitter and stringy. Lacinato kale is more tender than curly kale and blends smoother if you can find it.
- Blend the kale with the almond milk for about 30 seconds before adding the pineapple and the rest of the ingredients. Breaking down the greens in liquid first is the surest way to avoid leafy flecks and a gritty texture.
- Use frozen pineapple chunks so the kale smoothie stays thick and cold, and add the ice only if you want it frostier.
