NOTES & TIPS
(1) Kale. About 2 ounces weight. Don't include kale stems. This can be substituted with other leafy greens like collards or spinach.(2) Mango. About 1.5 ounces weight. I recommend using frozen mango chunks for convenience. If buying fresh, the mango should be peeled and cut into roughly 1-inch chunks.
(3) Pineapple. About 1.5 ounces weight. I recommend using frozen pineapple chunks for convenience. If buying fresh, cut the pineapple into roughly 1-inch chunks.
(4) Chia Seeds. This can be substituted with ground flax seeds.
(5) Make Ahead. To save time in the mornings, assemble ingredients except for water in the blender cup(s) the night before, cover and refrigerate. In the morning, add water and blend. Personally, I have purchased additional Nutribullet blender cups so that I can assemble multiple days’ worth of smoothies at a time. Another benefit to making them ahead of time is that it gives the frozen fruit time to defrost. This makes it easier to blend these ingredients into a smooth drink, especially if you don’t have a powerful blender.
(6) Serving. Serve immediately while fresh and chilled. Pair with other breakfast fare such as spinach tomato breakfast casserole or shakshuka.
