Ingredients  

  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1 cup kale leaves
  • 1 cup spinach leaves
  • 1 cup diced pineapple
  • 1/2 of a banana
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 handful of ice cubes (See Kelly's Notes)
  • 2 teaspoons honey or agave nectar

Instructions 

  • Add all of the ingredients to the blender in the order in which they are listed. Blend until smooth and pourable. Taste and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or agave nectar as desired.

Kelly's Notes:

  • Start with a medium size handful of ice cubes and add more to adjust the consistency of your smoothie. Adding more ice will both thicken and chill your smoothie.
  • This recipe is merely a guideline for proportions, so feel free to customize your smoothies with your favorite fruits and veggies.
  • I prefer to use water as the liquid in my smoothies because it thins the mixture without adding the loads of extra sugar found in most fruit juices.
