I enjoy drinking a kale smoothie for breakfast or as an after-school snack. The fruit and agave nectar give this healthy version a pleasant sweetness. —Kimberly Jackson, Marshfield, Missouri

Kale Smoothie Tips

Can you use other kinds of milk to make a kale smoothie?

If you want to keep this smoothie dairy-free, substitute nondairy milk alternatives such as soy, almond or coconut. Nondairy yogurts work, too.

What else can you put in a kale smoothie?

This smoothie is very forgiving and customizable. Anything you can mix yogurt with can be blended into a smoothie. You can add protein to smoothies, or other fruits like pineapple, mango, peaches or apple. Use honey instead of agave, or make yogurt at home for the ultimate DIY treat.

Can you make a kale smoothie ahead of time?

We do not recommend making this smoothie recipe ahead of time because the combination of ingredients tends to separate upon sitting. It's still drinkable, but it might not look great.
