This breakfast kale smoothie is one of my staple detox breakfast recipes. Not only is it incredibly nutritious, packed with kale and other superfoods, but it is also so delicious! I look forward to this breakfast from the moment I wake up. I throw a lot of things into my breakfast kale smoothie but feel free to use the recipe as a template and eliminate/add whatever else you fancy. 😉

I think a good baseline for the breakfast kale smoothie would be kale, apple, almond milk (or any other type of dairy free milk) and some protein like nuts/nut butter. After that, it’s fair game!

Serves 1-2 (one large glass, or 2 smaller glasses, as shown in the picture above)

Ingredients for Breakfast Kale Smoothie

• 1 large or 2 small kale leaves
• 1 small-medium sized apple, cored
• handful of walnuts
• 1 tbsp of almond butter
• 1/2 cup almond milk (or any other dairy free milk)
• 1 tsp flax seeds/ground flax
• 1 tsp chia seeds/ground chia
• 1 tsp hemp seeds
• 1 tsp spirulina (I’m low in iron and spirulina helps me with my daily intake of iron)
• 4 apricots (also high in iron and naturally sweet)
• sometimes I also add a tsp of macha powder / maca powder

Directions for Breakfast Kale Smoothie

1. Throw all ingredients into a high powdered blender (I use my Blendtec) and blend until smooth.
