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.

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.

the pineapple totally overpours the avocado and kale taste in this smoothie. kind of like a pina colada - with greens instead of booze! really tasty.

Due to my work schedule I don't always have time to eat breakfast so I rely on smoothies because they are quick and easy. This one definitely is in my Top 5.
