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.
To 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!

Thank you for sharing another smoothie recipe! Can’t wait to try this! Yum!
Thank you Donna! Hope you enjoy as much as I do! 🙂
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. =)
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. 🙂
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?
Hi Connie! Nope, my husband who was hesitant didn’t even complain. 🙂 Start with small amount of kale and see if you like it. 🙂
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! 🙂
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!!
Could you use baby spinach leaves instead of kale?
Hi David! Sure! You can definitely do that. 🙂
