Instructions

Add the frozen blueberries, frozen pineapple, kale, banana, coconut milk, yogurt, and protein powder (if using) to a blender.
1 cup frozen blueberries, 1 cup frozen chopped pineapple chunks, 1 cup loosely packed kale leaves, 1 medium banana, ½ cup coconut milk, ½ cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
Blend all ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
If the mixture is too thick, you can add more plant-based milk or water to reach your desired consistency. If it's too thin, add more frozen fruit or a few ice cubes.
Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy!

Notes

Feel free to use your favorite plant-based milk (unsweetened soy milk, almond milk, hemp milk, etc) in place of the coconut milk.
You can substitute the Greek yogurt with plant-based yogurt, Skyr, or sheep's yogurt.
For an additional boost of protein, add liquid egg whites.
For a sweeter smoothie, add more banana, a pitted Medjool date, or a bit of maple syrup or honey.
