Vegan Kiwi Smoothie
A smoothie that is incredibly high in vitamins, antioxidants and nutrients. This smoothie has the power of Vitamins A, C and K and a good dose of calcium and healthy fats from the chia seeds and sesame seeds. The smoothie reminds me of a fruity jolly rancher, but the benefits of superfood!
Servings: 2 mason jar sized smoothies or 1 extra large smoothie
Ingredients
- 1 large handful kale 57 g
- 2 kiwis sliced
- 1 large honey crisp apple sliced
- 1 frozen 10 oz bag strawberries thawed for 15 minutes (283 g which is about 2 cups)
- juice from half a lemon
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds 12 g
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds 7 g (optional)
- 1 to 1 1/2 cups water as needed to blend up smoothie
Instructions
- Add all of the ingredients to a blender and blend until very smooth. Garnish with sliced kiwi and sesame seeds, if desired. The sesame seeds give a depth of flavor that is a beautiful contrast to all the sweetness of the fruit.
- For an added protein boost, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder, if desired.
