Kale Smoothie With Pineapple and Banana
How to Make It
Step 1
Combine the coconut milk, ½ cup water, the kale, pineapple, and banana in a blender and puree until smooth, about 1 minute, adding more water to reach the desired consistency.

Just made this. The only change I made was using various/blended frozen fruits. Frozen pineapple, mango, and strawberries. You don't taste the kale at all. Delicious! Will definitely be making this again.

Loved it! Made sight changes---a little more pineapple, a small frozen banana, 1/3 water & used about 2/3 cup coconut water instead of coconut milk. It tasted very pineapple-y & got the smoothness of the banana without interfering with the pineapple flavor.

Loving this smoothie! Wasn't too sure about the coconut milk when I opened the can but I mixed it with my smoothie mixer before adding it to my smoothie. I halved the recipe except for the banana...

This was delicious! I used Almond Breeze Unsweetened Almond Coconut blend milk instead of coconut milk, and I didn't use any water. Like another reviewer said, I added a serving size of almonds to give it some protein. I also added a dash of almond extract and coconut extract. Truly enjoyed this!

I used water as a base, instead of coconut milk, and used frozen pineapple, and threw 12 almonds in for protein! This is a yummy smoothie! The pineapple is sweet and tart and makes it taste like a sweet treat!

I used almond milk instead of coconut milk and added ice cubes and frozen banana so it was really cold like a milkshake. Didn't taste "green" at all. A winner!

Love the flavor, but my kids hate the texture - the kale doesn't seem to get totally ground up. How do I make it so that there aren't bits of kale floating around?

If anyone's interested, mango goes really well with kale and banana too.

I use low fat or fat free kefir to replace coconut milk. I use coconut oil for cooking, however. I make my own kefir so there is little resemblence left to milk once I have cultured all or most of the lactose(sugar) out. It has 3 times the probiotics that yogurt has and makes a perfectly good and healthier substitute for coconut milk. It mixes very well with pineapple and other fruit as well as your favorite greens. BTW, the kale is used raw as are all greens used for smoothies. With kefir, you may wish to use a sweetener of some kind, many use Stevia, as kefir is very tart especially if it has been cultured long enough. Although pineapple is sweet, it may not provide enough sweetness for this smoothie.

I have food sensitivities and cannot have pineapple. do you have a suggestion for another fruit in place of it?
