Whip up this healthy, vegan kale and apple green smoothie in minutes. It’s a great way to start the day

This recipe makes one smoothie, but can easily be doubled or tripled. There are only 125 calories in each smoothie, along with 6 grams of fiber and 4.2 grams of protein. If you want to make this more filling, add some protein powder. You could even throw in a little banana. Just make sure to add more liquid to compensate for the extra bulk.

The apples give the smoothie a really nice subtle, natural sweetness. If you prefer your smoothies a little sweeter, add a drizzle of agave nectar (vegan)

Ingredients

⅔ cup unsweetened almond milk

1 ½ cups (packed) chopped kale leaves 

1 stalk celery, cut into 1-inch pieces

½  apple, cut into chunks

1 tbsp ground flax seed

¾ cup ice

Agave nectar (optional)

Instructions

Place the almond milk, kale, celery, apple, ground flax seed and ice into a blender.

Blend until smooth. Taste and add agave nectar if you would like a sweeter smoothie. Serve.
