Enjoy a healthy berry smoothie made with Greek yogurt, baby kale, banana, chia seeds, and almond milk.
Do you like berries? My children loves all sorts of berries and especially blueberry. Both fresh and frozen berries disappears very quickly in my house as we couldn’t resist eating them. For me, I try to find as many excuse to eat them as possible so after my workouts each morning, I like to quench my thirst and cool down with my Berry Smoothie.

Refreshing and cool berry smoothie made with Greek yogurt, baby kale, banana, chia seeds, and almond milk.
It’s really easy to make healthy smoothies at home and with Nutribullet. With this blender, cleanup is super quick. For this smoothie, I add frozen mixed berries, baby kale, banana, non-fat Greek yogurt, chia seeds and almond milk. If you wonder if whether you can taste kale in the drink, no, you don’t taste it at all. 🙂
It’s so easy to make and amazingly delicious! You can use fresh berries that are in season (in that case, add ice cubes or freeze them first), but even when berries are not in season, frozen berries are perfect for making this smoothie.
MY LATEST RECIPESTo avoid unhealthy snacks, I drink a smoothie between meals as my snack so that I can keep my meal portion smaller. It feels great to eat healthy while getting the good nutrients our body needs. Now that summer is in full swing, it’s time to beat the heat with delicious and nutritious smoothies!

Gorgeous pics! I love that you using almond milk. I would love to try your recipe one morning instead of my usual – spinach, berries, kiwis and soy milk.

Pretty and healthy. I wonder if I could use my blender as a Nutribullet isn’t in the budget.

Aren’t blueberries the best? We love them both fresh and frozen and couldn’t resist eating them either. We used coconut water, almond milk, mint, flax meal, frozen ripe banana, and frozen blueberries for our summer smoothies. The heat wave is arriving already! 🙁

Fun recipe! This looks so delish. And great pictures — love the color of this. I’ve seen a bunch of Nutribullets — sounds interesting. Although I so rarely use my blender, I doubt if I’m their target audience! Anyway, fun post — thanks.
Eha
Have to admit that I get around to making smoothies not that often 🙂 ! But I love your rather diverse group of ingredients and shall try!! In Australia berries, especially blueberries, have rather a high price tag, but your smoothie does not require too large a quantity, so . . . .
Nami
Hi Eha! I miss making and drinking smoothies. Berries are expensive in Japan even frozen one (package is so small!). I miss American size LOL. 😀

Ohh, very vivid colours! Can’t wait to savour the smell of freshness in this drink. With almond milk, I’m sure this tastes more distinct and lovely.

I never thought to add all these ingredients to make a delish berry smoothie recipe like this one. Thanks for the great, refreshing idea! Hope you’re having a great time in Tokyo, Nami!

I’ve been using my NutriBullet like crazy! Thank you so much for recommending it. Boy #4 had his wisdom teeth out last week and it has been so nice to have a quick, easy way to mix up smoothies and shakes for him. I do my smoothies with baby spinach all the time but have yet to try kale. I should give this one a try! Love how deep, dark, and purpley it is 🙂

I like smoothines so much, and the good thing is that we can add secret things without problems. Also like the alternative to add chia seeds, as it makes it healthy.
Monica
You manage to make a girl crave a smoothie, Nami! : )
Laura (Tutti Dolci)
Your smoothie looks so good, Nami! This would make a wonderful breakfast!

Love all the healthy ingredients in your smoothie Nami! Great way to stay hydrated and healthy this summer.
Kimmi
What a perfect way to beat the heat! I’m not a huge fan of fresh berries, but I sure love them in a smoothie. Thanks also for updating us about the most recent charity to benefit from your eBook. =)
Nami
Hi Kimmi! You are not a huge fan of fresh berries!? I’d love to sit next to you during berry season to get your share. =P Our family fight for a last piece of berries. LOL. Thanks so much for your kind words on the charity. 🙂

Great refreshing berries smoothie with the addition of the power seeds Chia makes it super healthy! I would love to have a glass please!
Holly | Beyond Kimchee
What a refreshing smoothie! I love the addition of kale and chia seeds to make it even healthier. Love your video, too. Great job, Nami!

I just bought a Nutribullet and I’m loving it. I start each morning with either a smoothie or a juice. I love how quickly and easily it makes healthy drinks and how there’s so little mess and washing up xx
Maris (In Good Taste)
I love these! I just started making green smoothies but I will have to start making more with fruit and yogurt.I never thought about adding chia seeds!
mjskit
We’ve been having fruit smoothies about 4 times a week this summer so I’m always on the hunt for another delicious one. I love your Matcha smoothie so I know that I’ll love this one as well. Thanks Nami!

Kale with banana and berries….that’s a smart one Nami. Love the colors.
Ella-HomeCookingAdventure
So simple.. and I am sure it tastes awesome. I use to make very often berry smoothie.. but never thought to use kale which I find quite great as it brings more vitamins to this. Great idea.
Mich Piece of Cake
This looks delicious ! Love the blue colour of the smoothie…
Muna Kenny
Healthy, filling, and refreshing smoothie, what else can one ask for? The video was fun to watch 🙂
Sissi
Your smoothie looks so summery and refreshing! I even seed the super foods (kale and chia seeds) in it. I’m sure no one would mind these as long as yogurt and berries are there 😉
[email protected]
Really lovely smoothie, Nami! I love my Nutribullet and use it every single day – it does a great job, even on coarse ingredients. Thanks for sharing!
Kitchen Belleicious
okay so could the color look more gorgeous, vibrant, appealing? I mean really girl. you sure do know how to make something that appeals to everyone- even this non-loving smoothie gal:) It looks delicious!
ray
Love the vibrant and healthy smoothies like this. I could have this for breakfast and without any guilt. 🙂
Raymund
They look amazingly healthy, that berries and banana would mask the flavour of those greens 🙂 Yum!
Sylvie | Gourmande in the Kitchen
I love berries, they are one of the many reason I love the summer season so much!
Asmita
Wow Nami!
This looks so refreshing! I would make it with regular milk due to allergy reasons. Thanks for a great idea!

Great recipe to add to my growing smoothie repertoire. Have not tried kale yet. Maybe you want to try: I have been pre-grinding equal amounts of chia, flax and hemp seeds 🙂
Kelly
This looks so refreshing! Berry smoothies are one of our favorites along with mango! This looks like the perfect way to start the morning 🙂
Lynna
Whenever I go to a smoothie shop, I`m always ordering some sort of berry smoothie! My only pet peeve with berry smoothie is the fact that it always gets stuck in my teeth!! D: Still, delicious!!
Bam's Kitchen
Looks so delicious Nami-san. The nutribullet looks like it makes smoothie making a breeze. Currently I struggle with a Phillips brand here from HK and it does not do the job. I bet the coconut milk you used to drink might be nice in this smoothie as well. Take Care, BAM
Ashley @ QLCC
These smoothies look gorgeous! And so very tasty. You have lucky kids!
Connie M
I have never used kale in a smoothie. Can it be tasted? Do you need to have a strong tasting berry to mask the flavor?
Nami
Hi Connie! Nope, my husband who was hesitant didn’t even complain. 🙂 Start with small amount of kale and see if you like it. 🙂
Leo Döhl
This berry smoothie is a real delight! I was wondering what almond milk taste like in comparison to ordinary cow milk that I drink. At first I must admit that the flavor was very unusual and a bit neutral by itself, but in the smoothie it provides a great kick to the flavor. The frozen fruit mix is also doing a great deal in the taste. I typically never purchase frozen fruit, but now I have a reason 😉 Plus it’s cheaper than fresh and less worries about the fruit decaying away too soon.
The recipe also got me to buy a new blender (after my former blender gave up working many months ago) as I didn’t have a purpose for a blender – until recently 😉
Thank you Nami for this smoothie. As with many recipes from you, I give you again 5 stars for a fast, simple and delicious drink as a snack! 🙂
Nami
Hi Leo! Thanks so much for your kind feedback on this recipe! I used to enjoy cow’s milk but as I’m lactose intolerant, it made sense for me to use almond milk and it’s healthier too. I never purchased frozen fruits too, prior to smoothie making. Now I have one to two different types of bags in the freezer. The fresh ones are so expensive to put into the smoothie…
Congrats on the new blender! I’d love a professional blender too, but saving money for it… 🙂
Thanks again!!
David
Could you use baby spinach leaves instead of kale?
Nami
Hi David! Sure! You can definitely do that. 🙂
