One of the easiest ways to pop kale into your diet is a smoothie. Adding extra-sweet fruits, such as pineapple and banana, helps tames its bitter, peppery flavor, making this super-tasty—and nutritious! Kale is rich in vitamins and contains a healthy dose of fiber, iron, and calcium.

Dietitian Tip: For an extra-cold smoothie, use frozen fruit. No chilling needed!

Tropical Kale Smoothies

In a blender, combine kale, banana, pineapple, cucumber and coconut water. Cover and blend until smooth. Cover and chill for several hours or up to 3 days.

*Note: Stash a bag of kale leaves in the freezer for a nicely chilled drink anytime.
