Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh kale leaves, packed
- 1 ripe banana
- 1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1/2 cup passionfruit juice
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
- Fresh fruits for topping (e.g., sliced strawberries, kiwi, blueberries)

Instructions
- Begin by washing the kale leaves thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- In a powerful blender, add the kale, ripe banana, frozen mango chunks, frozen pineapple chunks, passionfruit juice, and almond milk.
- Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the blender a couple of times to ensure everything blends evenly.
- Add the chia seeds and honey to the blender, then blend again until well incorporated.
- Pour the smoothie mixture into two bowls. The tangy aroma of the passionfruit combined with the fresh scent of mango and pineapple will be irresistible!
- Arrange your fresh fruit toppings, granola, and coconut flakes artfully on top of each bowl. The vibrant colors will make your smoothie bowl look like a work of art!
- Serve immediately and enjoy with your family. Breathe in the fresh, tropical scents before taking your first mouthful – it’s a feast for all the senses.
Helpful Tips and Variations
- If you can’t find passionfruit juice, replace it with orange or a blend of tropical juices.
- For a more indulgent treat, add a dollop of Greek yogurt to your smoothie base.
- Serve in chilled bowls for an extra-refreshing experience, especially in the summer.
- Perfect for family brunches or as a creative activity with kids to explore different fruit toppings.
