Notes
Storage. For optimum nutrition it is best to drink this smoothie right away, however it can be drunk within 24 hours if kept refrigerated. To save it longer, pour it into ice cube trays and freeze to be blended later. When ready to re-blend, you might need to add a bit more liquid to create a smooth texture.
1. This recipe serves one person.
2. Freeze milk in ice cube trays, and add the milk to your smoothies that way to create a frosty texture. Or add ½ cup of milk and ½ cup of ice.
3. To increase the hazelnut flavor, add a drop of hazelnut extract.
4. Baby kale will be easier to blend than regular kale. You can use any leafy green in place of kale.
