I also like the frozen mixed berries from costco. The local morning markets are a great source of fruits and veggies although I havenāt seen kale. Avocado is really good in a smoothie and when it is mango season, I like to peel some for the freezer.
I prefer eating fruit and enjoying the texture, so I donāt often liquefy them. But when I do make a smoothie (usually with fruit that is overripe and no longer fun to eat), I like to use papaya, a banana, some milk, and a big spoonful of flax seed.
I use my smoothie as a recovery meal after my morning workouts, so lots of protein (protein powder and black beans). Thereās a good balance of fruit (bananas, frozen blueberries - Costco, sometimes pomegranate seeds or mango) and veggies (kale, avocados) plus flax seed meal and chia seeds. Also add greek yogurt and soy milk. The sweet fruit masks the bitter taste of the kale, which, like bitter melon, I normally canāt stand. Very satisfying, and lost some weight.
Iām thinking maybe throw all this with water or other liquid and a handful of blueberries into a blender for quick breakfast. The ultimate low sugar low carb vegetable smoothie.
