Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups kale
  • 1 cup papaya or 1 carrot or sweet potato
  • 1 cup avocado or 1/2 of a medium avocado
  • 1/2 cup pineapple
  • 1/2 cup frozen wild blueberries
  • 1 tbsp blackcurrant powder
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom
  • 1 tbsp flaxseeds
  • 1 tbsp sunflower seeds
  • 1/2 cup gluten-free oats
  • 1 cup coconut milk I used Native Forest Simple canned coconut milk
  • 1 - 2 cups coconut water add more if you want a thinner consistency smoothie
  • 1 banana (optional) add if you would like more sweetness, though I try to keep this low in sugar.

Method
 

  1. Start with adding liquids in a high speed blender.
  2. Add the fresh vegetables and fruit.
  3. Add the blackcurrant powder, cardamom, flaxseeds, sunflower seeds, and oats.
  4. Add the frozen fruit and blend on high for 1 minutes or until smooth. Do not over blend as it will heat up the smoothie.
  5. Serve in large glass and enjoy
  6. Store in mason jar with a tight lid in refrigerator, eat within 3 days.

Notes

You can add a banana or a few dates to add some sweetness to this smoothie if you're not used to the strong kale flavor. Though I recommend keeping this low in sugar so not to spike blood sugar levels. 
Add more liquids if you find this smoothie to be too thick.
