Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup almond milk or milk of choice, divided
  • 1 cup raw kale packed
  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen
  • 1-2 handfuls of ice
  • 2 packets stevia divided
  • High-speed blender
  • Knife and cutting board

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, combine half of the almond milk with the chia seeds.
  • Let this sit for a few minutes while you prepare other ingredients so the chia seeds can absorb the milk. This adds a thicker, smoother texture to your smoothie. 
  • Rinse the kale under cold water. With the water running, gently massage the kale leaves to tenderize (about 1-2 minutes). Tear kale leaves from the stem, discard the stems and cut the leaves into one-inch pieces for easy blending. 
  • Add all ingredients to a blender with one packet of stevia and run on high until the mixture’s consistency is the same throughout and you can no longer see chunks of either kale or blueberries (about 1-2 minutes).
  • If the flavor is to your liking, enjoy as is! Or add the second packet of stevia and blend for another minute for added sweetness.
  • Serve in a glass or a travel mug if you want to enjoy it on the go.
