What about kale for breakfast ?

Superfood for breakfast today !

Again I vote for green as it definitely wakes me up 🙂

I have had many kale smoothie or smoothie bowls so far, but never combined it with apple strangely enough.

It brings a subtle sweet note, a nice acidity and lots of fibers !

Such a fresh and balanced combo. And definitely a superfood bowl: kale, apple, chia, almonds, goji berries ! wholesome nature goodness in one bowl 🙂

And once again, you really don’t feel like you are eating kale (I love it but wouldn’t fancy its taste at 7.00 am though :).

I let you make your mind if you try the recipe just below and share your comments by mail or on Insta.

Recipe:

1 cup kale (stems removed, ideally organic)
1 small green apple cut in quarters (organic or remove the skin)
2 tbsp vegan protein powder
1 tbsp almond butter (or PB but stronger taste)
1 tsp chia seeds
1/3 to 2/3 cup almond milk (depending on the texture you like)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: 1 date (I did not put any, as the sweetness of goji bites in the bowl was enough for me, but if you like it rather sweet, add 1 to 2 dates)

Put all the ingredients in your high speed blender, ensuring you add the milk gradually, and pulse until you get a smooth creamy texture.

If you want it iced, place your almond milk in iced cubes trays the day before and add these almond milk ice cubes instead of liquid milk.

If you want to eat it in a bowl, top with goji berries, chia seeds, melon seeds (or pumpkin seeds) and strawberries (fresh or dehydrated).

Enjoy !
