Fruity and tart with dark berry flavour, sweet banana and a mild, green cabbage note.
Kale has a firm texture and a slightly bitter, cabbage-like flavour, so it needs strong fruit partners. Blackberries bring deep colour and a tart, wine-like taste, the banana adds sweetness and creaminess. Kale is known to contain vitamin K and vitamin C, and blackberries provide fibre.
Remove the tough central stalk before blending so the texture stays smooth. The smoothie makes a hearty breakfast and works well after a workout.
