Are kale smoothies healthy?

Absolutely! Now, the nutritional content and benefits of a kale smoothie will vary depending on the other ingredients included.

What vegetables go well in smoothies?

If kale isn’t your thing, you can use spinach, arugula, or really any other leafy green instead. If you own a powerful blender, you can add cauliflower (steamed and frozen), celery, avocado or cucumber (which are both technically fruits!) as well.

I added coconut flakes, sliced kiwi, hemp seeds, and dragonfruit on top of my pineapple kale smoothie bowl. Other delicious toppings include granola, blueberries, strawberries, chia seeds, almond butter, or nuts.
