Green Grape and Kale Smoothie
A refreshing and sweet smoothie made with just green grapes, fresh kale, and ice, perfect for a quick boost of nutrients.
Ingredients
For the Smoothie
- 2 cups green grapes (seedless preferred) Choose varieties like Thompson or Perlette for smooth texture.
- 2 cups fresh kale (stems removed, loosely packed) Lacinato or curly kale can both work; avoid using thick stems.
- 1 cup ice cubes Use clear, fresh ice for the best taste.
Instructions
Preparation
- Add the green grapes to the blender container first.
- Layer fresh kale on top of the grapes and push it down gently to remove air pockets.
- Add the ice cubes last to help press the other ingredients into the blades.
- Begin blending on low speed for a few seconds, then quickly increase to high speed.
- Blend for 45–60 seconds or until there are no visible flecks of kale.
Notes
For a creamier smoothie, consider swapping half the ice with yogurt or silken tofu. You can add citrus for brightness, or herbs for freshness. Adjust grape sweetness with honey if needed.
