Kale Spinach and Pear Smoothie

January 3, 2011 by Joy the Baker 310 Comments

If you’re lucky enough to romance someone with breakfast in bed…. do not bring kale.  Bring bacon.  Bacon is better in bed.  Kale is stupid in bed.  Kale is better if you’re a single lady that wants a smoothie.

How is that for a pro tip?

Believe it or not, kale and spinach blend up perfectly into a smoothie.

I know!  I totally had my doubts…. but it works.

I added pear and banana and almond milk too.  So super delicious.  It doesn’t taste like you’re drinking kale and spinach.  It tastes like your drinking good.

Ps.  I have spinach in my teeth.  True story.

1 heaping cup spinach leaves

1 heaping cup chopped kale leaves

1/2 pear

1 frozen banana

1 1/2 cups cold almond milk (or soy milk or orange juice)

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.  Enjoy immediately.  Heck yea!

    Recently, I came across your site Joy, I’m glad I did! I had some pears and kale that needed to be whipped into something so I Vitamixed these. Best part of a smoothie is all you need is an idea then take it from there. I didn’t have spinach so I doubled the kale, used a whole pear, 1 cup unsweetened soy & 1/2 cup vanilla soy and ixnayed the honey – too many carbs for me. Darn, I forgot – I was going to add flax . . . tomorrow!
