high speed blender
Ingredients
1cupmangofrozen
1 ¾cupmilkoat, almond, or other unsweetened plant milk
¼cupkalepacked
1banana
2medjool dates
1cupberriesfrozen, I use a blueberry, strawberry, and raspberry mix. Cherries are great, too!
1açai packunsweetened, frozen
Instructions
Place the frozen mango and about ¾ cup almond milk into a high-speed blender. Blend until smooth. Use the tamper on your blender if needed, or add a little more milk (up to ¾ cup total). More milk means more smoothie, but less thick. Pour the orange mixture evenly into 4 8-oz jars or 2 16-oz skull jars to about ⅓ full.
To the orange mixture remaining in the blender, add the kale, one date, and ½ the banana, and about ¼ cup milk. Blend until smooth, then pour the green mixture over the orange mixture in the two jars until they are ⅔ full. Have some extra? That's for you. Or a sibling. Or your spouse. Or later.
Give the blender a quick rinse, then place the frozen berries, other date, remaining ½ banana, açai pack, and ¾ cup milk into the blender and blend until smooth. Pour this purple mixture over the green mixture until the jars are filled.
Enjoy! (PS for the grownups: These smoothies are great with a little kick! Rum, vodka, tequila - whatever you enjoy for yourself once the little ghosts and goblins have had their fun.
Notes
Makes 4 8-oz servings (or 2 16-oz - skull jars are often 16 oz).Note: If you don't have a high-speed blender, you may need to add more plant milk to each stage to blend the ingredients.
