Delicious red wine-based sauce that pairs perfectly with filet mignon or New York strip steaks. This can complement a roast or prime rib as well.

Ingredients
- 1 banana, broken into chunks
- ½ cup mixed frozen berries
- ½ cup shredded kale
- ½ cup orange juice
- ½ cup water
- 10 almonds (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons plain yogurt
Instructions
- Combine banana, berries, kale, orange juice, water, almonds, and yogurt in a blender; blend until smooth, about 20 to 30 seconds.
- If I don’t have any kale on hand, I substitute with spinach. I’ll add a scoop of protein powder if I’m looking for more protein. Using just water works if you don’t have any orange juice on hand.

Reviews
I increased the blueberries (frozen) to 1 c. Used 1 c spinach rather than kale. Used 1/2 c coconut water to replace reg. water. Did not include yogurt. Delicious!! Not too thick. Beautiful purple color!
I make this, or something similar, almost every day for me and my partner. I don’t use almonds because neither one of us likes crunchy bits in a smooth drink. I use a mixture of spinach and kale, frozen mixed berries and a frozen tropical fruit mix. The fruit might vary depending on my mood that day, lol. I have some probiotic protein powder that I will sometimes add. I also use either vanilla soy milk or almond milk instead of water. Awesome kick-start to the day!
I like my smoothies thicker, so next time I will try ice instead of water…or just eliminate the water altogether. But the flavors were good! This was my first time putting greens in my smoothies…if I didn’t make it myself, I wouldn’t even know the kale was in there!
Best breakfast smoothie I’ve had in a while, I had lots of energy, and it was oh so yummy! I made some for my kids and now they love it, they don’t even know it has kale and spinach in it!
I used strawberry Greek yogurt instead of plain Greek yogurt to add a bit more flavor.
Very refreshing! Kale was on sale, I’ve never tried it before, so I made an impulse buy to my benefit. I don’t eat enough green veggies but this’ll fix that. For the berries, I used half strawberries and half raspberries. Delish.
this was the best I ever had
Best Smoothie I made. Added a 1.5 of greens and it the best way to get your greens in daily. 🙂
I didn’t use almonds or orange juice, and I also changed the yogurt to 1/2 cup Greek vanilla, but recipe variation that I used made one of the best homemade smoothies I have ever had (and I have made my fair share homemade smoothies). I plan on making this again and again and eventually trying the original recipe.
I used a little less Kale and no banana, and it was delicious. I’m going to start drinking this every morning.
Love it! I used strawberry activia Greek yogurt, Trop50, fresh berries and Kale to create a healthier recipe. Thumbs up!
I made it without the yogurt and just used almond milk instead. was delicious
I used frozen strawberries and blueberries. I also added a tsp of granulated Splenda.
I used spinach instead of kale, added a tablespoon of chia seeds, and combined peaches alongside the berries. I had a lot of energy the who day!
It was ok, nothing to write home about
If I don’t have any orange juice on hand I’ll substitute it with Almond Milk. I’ve introduced this smoothie to my parents and now they drink one everyday before work!
