Kale for breakfast totally works when it's blended with sweet pineapple and refreshing coconut water. This creamy vegan smoothie is perfect for a healthy breakfast on the go or a nutritious afternoon snack. Pineapple is filled with vitamin C and manganese, while kale is a veritable powerhouse of nutrients and minerals, while also being filled with fiber. Amp up your electrolytes with coconut water, and creamy avocado adds heart-healthy benefits and will keep you full until lunchtime. Once you try it, you'll have this smoothie on constant rotation.

Directions

Blend all ingredients until smooth, 30 to 45 seconds. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately. Alternately, place ingredients in the chopper attachment of an immersion blender and blend until smooth.

Mealthy tip:

Avocado adds healthy fats and creaminess to smoothies. You can also substitute half of a banana to get the same creamy texture and more potassium. Alternatively, add a quarter cup of plain yogurt or coconut yogurt for more protein and a probiotic boost.
