This was delicious! I used two cups of fresh spinach in place of the kale.
Like a couple of the other reviewers I needed a way to incorporate kale into my diet...and this smoothie recipe fits the bill! The banana and orange flavors tame the bitterness of kale and the end result is a palate-pleasing drink.
Simple easy to make! Tastes smooth and rich!
The flavor of this is really good. However I do think it needs added ice (or use frozen bananas). I made the recipe as-is (except I used oat milk in place of water and added a spoonful of chia seeds for an added nutritional boost) and it definitely didn't get anywhere near pudding consistency. If you're going to make this don't add any additional liquid until after you've made it. I think most people won't want added liquid. Also I highly recommend the chia seeds! Not just for the nutritional boost but they give smoothies a frothy and creamy texture that is just amazing.
I've been trying to add some kale to our diets. This is a great way to use it as it takes the bitterness away. I've made this recipe twice now. First time as written and it was good but thick and not real cold. The second time I made it I added ice cubes. I liked it with the ice cubes better as it was a little thinner and it was cold. I'm sure this would be good made with spinach also. Thanks Georgina for sharing this quick breakfast treat.
I was surprised but I thought this tasted good. I only had 1/2 orange so I halved the other ingredients but accidentally kept the water amount the same. I think it was a good mistake because it was still kind of thick. Like kellieann I used spinach as it was what I had. I used a small handful. I may make this again. It is very healthy.
This is good as is...OR you can really add whatever you would like. Add more fruit and/or yogurt and less water if you like your drink thicker. More water if you like it more of a juice consistency. Pineapple is an awesome addition as is mango. These two fruits are amazing with oranges and bananas. Peaches...Just start throwing things in. And sub different greens for the kale too!
I really wanted to like this but I found it to be only okay. Mine never got very thick (definitely not pudding consistency) and I substituted part of the water for ice (which should have made it thicker). The flavor wasn't bad but it didn't have a lot of definite flavor.
Love this smoothie! One of my morning favorites. I used spinach instead of kale and the orange unpeeled. I've even added pineapple to the mix.
