A refreshing and nutritious Easy Apple Greens Smoothie that combines the sweetness of frozen fruits with the wholesome goodness of kale and collagen peptides. This quick smoothie is perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack, delivering a vibrant, energizing drink in just minutes.

  • Total Time: 5 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Fruits

  • 1/2 small banana, frozen
  • 3/4 cup frozen peach, mango, and strawberry blend
  • 1/2 red apple, cored

Greens

  • 1 cup raw kale

Liquids

  • 3/4 cup pure apple juice (no added sugars)

Supplements

  • 1/4 cup unflavoured collagen peptides

Instructions

  1. Add the greens and fruits: Place 1 cup of raw kale at the bottom of the blender. Then add the frozen banana, 3/4 cup of the frozen peach, mango, and strawberry blend, and 1/2 cored red apple on top.
  2. Pour in the liquid: Add 3/4 cup of pure apple juice (with no added sugars) over the fruits and kale in the blender to help blending smoothness.
  3. Add collagen peptides: Sprinkle 1/4 cup of unflavoured collagen peptides into the blender mixture for a protein boost.
  4. Blend the mixture: Secure the blender lid and start blending on low speed. Gradually increase the speed to high and blend until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy. Some small red bits of apple skin may remain, which is normal.
  5. Serve: Pour the freshly blended smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute kale with spinach if you prefer a milder green flavor.
  • Use frozen fruits to achieve a thicker and colder smoothie texture.
  • Adjust apple juice amount for desired sweetness and consistency.
  • Collagen peptides add protein and are optional if you want a vegan version.
  • Drink immediately to enjoy optimal freshness and nutrient content.
