Start your day off right with this Pineapple Kale Smoothie! It’s packed with tropical flavor and fresh greens to give you a healthy and refreshing boost to your morning. My toddler is a big fan of this one!

I haven’t shared a smoothie recipe in awhile, so I decided it was high time to get back on that bandwagon! I’ve been making a lot of oatmeal for breakfast lately, but decided to try out a new smoothie recipe the other day since I had some chopped up pineapple sitting in the fridge. I blended the pineapple up with a little orange juice and some kale, and the results were a WIN! I love easy, minimal-ingredient recipes, and that’s the beauty of this one right here.

I don’t know if I’ve mentioned it to y’all or not, but my daughter is starting to talk! Her new favorite word is “mine,” (isn’t that the case for lots of toddlers?!) and she definitely exercised her use of that word the day I first made this smoothie. Seriously, no sooner had I stuck a straw into it than she came toddling over at lightning speed hollering, “MINE! MINE!” So…. I let her be the one to take the first guinea-pig sip. I knew it must’ve been good, since she downed almost 1/3 of it before I could coax it away from her!

So there ya have it. A toddler approved green smoothie. Hope y’all love it, too! 🙂

    I haven’t had a kale and pineapple smoothie yet, but I have a bunch of pineapple. I think I will plant some kale because I do like kale and I would like to try this.

    What a great idea for a healthy smoothie. I’m betting if you can get your kid to drink it (and how cute that shes started talking) i can get my boyfriend who doesn’t like kale to drink it.

    I didn’t have orange juice, so I used the juice of 1 lemon and sweetened with some vanilla-flavored stevia drops. Also added some Greek yogurt and some oat milk. It was awesome!

    Wow! This is great! If your toddler will drink it, maybe my picky 18 year old may eat something green! Thanks for the inspiration!

    I start nearly every day with a smoothie so, am always on the look out for great smoothie ideas. Love how fresh and easy this one is! My kids also liked using the word ‘mine’ a lot when they were toddlers! Brought back memories!

    This is a great idea, Ashlyn! I just bought some baby kale for another recipe. I’ll have to keep some aside for a smoothie!

    You’re going through such a fun time with your toddler. I can remember when my kids first started talking and as I recall, they all said “mine” a lot. This smoothie combo sounds fantastic, I’m sure my kids would love it!
