This Kale Strawberry Pineapple Smoothie was originally published August 2015. I've retested and re-photographed the recipe. It's a goodie! 

People drink smoothies for a variety of reasons. Some for convenience and some for their sweet tooth. After all, it IS a deliciously sweet treat!

Instead of drinking a smoothie for convenience or for your sugar craving, let's think about drinking a smoothie for a change for it's healing anti-inflammatory powers. Ah did I say healing? YES friends! Smoothies made with antioxidant rich fruits are healing. Think of it as food with super power!

Antioxidant rich fruits protect your body from disease development and help to reduce inflammation. The more colors the more variety of antioxidants and protection you get. That's why they say eat the rainbow! Are you cool with that?

I hope you are! Food really is healing and your body will love you more when you feed it good things.

Kale Strawberry Pineapple Smoothie

This smoothie is one you need friends. A mighty powerful one too! Not only is it pretty with it's colorful layers, it's packed with antioxidants from the berries and pineapple.

I made one for Mom and she asked "what's in this? it's really good!" My response was kale, strawberries, pineapple & applesauce. I know it sounds strange, but trust me. It's good!

It’s a creamy blend of the perfect sweet flavors. No added sugars, real INGREDIENTS (free of dairy, and bananas), and naturally sweetened with applesauce and stevia. Plus this is one of the thickest fruit plant smoothies I’ve ever had. Ahhh so so perfect for those on a gluten free diet.

Sometimes the most unexpected things go together and this is one combination you MUST try!

Helpful Tips

For this recipe, I recommend using fresh strawberries instead of frozen. Why? The fresh berries give the smoothie it's vibrant color! Frozen berries DO work, but just know the color will be a few shades lighter. You will not need to add ice cubes if using frozen berries. They should have enough water on their own!

I definitely recommend a high-speed blender like this one to make this recipe. It will blend the kale nice and smooth. There's nothing worst than a big chunk of kale getting stuck in your straw! It's also a great thickener to the pineapple in the top layer of the smoothie. So good!

No more tips friends! Let's get blending andgGive this kale strawberry pineapple smoothie a whirl shall we?

    So I made the strawberry smoothie the strawberry wasn’t hard. It was soft. It looked really good. I made the kale and it went right through. I don’t know how you made the kale stay on top.

      May want to freeze the strawberry portion a bit before topping with the kale. If it's warm out, they will certainly go right through.

    I love the way the two colors of the smoothie are separate. It's beautiful as well as delicious 🙂

    I am so sorry that you've been going through such pain and difficulties. Good for you for sticking up for yourself. A person definitely has to be their own advocate. A couple years ago, my husband got misdiagnosed twice! If he hadn't demanded a second opinion he would have been taking unnecessary medication and basically scared that he would die at any minute.

      I'm sorry your husband had to go through that. Do you know almost every person I talk to has some kind of similar story? It's really unfortunate. It should be about the patient and what's best for them.

    You had me at "doesn't even taste healthy". Trying for sure! Also, it makes me happy to hear that you've got the beginning of the healing process under control. I think that's so important, and even though it's a long road at least you have some clarity! Agree 100% on the doctor sitch, I research everything relentlessly and switch if needed.

    oh Meaghan I am so sorry to hear about this! I've had my share of injuries this last year too and it can be so hard some days not to let it wear on you. You are so strong and I have no doubt you will come out of this even stronger. If you ever want to vent to me-feel free! So your smoothie looks good! Bad segue 🙂

    You are such a champion. I know how much this whole thing has worn on you, and I've no doubt that it is way more than you've shown. But def focus on one week at a time. One week at a time. I'm glad that you are focusing on your health, and you know how I've had to be my own health advocate before. Doctors are great, but they're not perfect. We have to help them a bit sometimes!

      I swear you have psychic skills Suz. I'm definitely suffering inside & putting on a brave face to get through it. I keep telling myself I have to push those feelings aside though because the real work comes when I can walk again and it's not going to be fun either.

      Thank you for the sweet compliment Michele. I can hardly wrap my brain around this either, but at the end of the day you just have to deal with what's dumped on you. My only priority right now is healing my body and getting well. Nothing else matters.
