This kale pineapple smoothie tastes just like you are on vacation on a tropical island. It's a refreshing blend of fruit and kale, which work together surprisingly well. This powerhouse smoothie is packed with nutrients and vitamins that will nourish your body, all while making your tastebuds happy.

They say to eat the rainbow. Well, with smoothies, you can drink the rainbow! This recipe is full of gut and heart-healthy ingredients. Kale is a superfood that has disease-fighting antioxidants and is rich in iron. Pineapple is very high in vitamin C, which is fantastic for your immune system. Plus, chia seeds have tons of fiber that help your digestion system function at its best.

If you prefer to drink your vitamins instead of swallowing them in pill form, then you are going to really enjoy this tropical smoothie. All the fresh citrus flavors are bursting with natural sugar so you don't even need to sweeten it (although you can if you want to, of course).

Another thing you will love about this smoothie is that it is made without bananas! I have used bananas in so many other smoothies that I wanted to try and create something completely different. The chia seeds help make this smoothie creamy so you don't need that texture from the bananas.

Key Ingredients For Kale Smoothie

This is a very simple recipe and all of the ingredients are easy to find. Here is what you'll need:

  • Kale: Chop up the kale and remove the stems. If you're feeling a bit hesitant, don't worry. When you add all the different types of fruit, you won't even taste the kale.
  • Orange: Remember to peel the orange slices and remove the pith. This will give it the best texture.
  • Coconut Water: This is full of antioxidants and fiber that flush out your body and helps you feel better while adding a subtle coconut flavor.
  • Pineapple: It's easier to just use frozen pineapple chunks. If you want to use fresh pineapple, add some ice to the smoothie to get it to have a slightly frozen texture.
  • Mango: Even though mango is easy to buy and prep, it's even easier to use frozen mango pieces.
  • Chia Seeds: If you don't have chia seeds, you can use flax seeds instead.
