Wash the kale and shake off excess water.

Strip the kale from its stem, using a technique demonstrated in a previous video.

Pack about 1 cup of kale into the blender, adding a little extra if desired.

Use ripe bananas for sweetness; peel and break them in half or into quarters for freezing.

Blend the kale with the almond milk until completely green and smooth to avoid chunks in the smoothie.

Add 4 halves of frozen bananas to the blender; you can use 3 bananas for a more dessert-like smoothie.

If desired, add ice for a thicker and colder smoothie.

Add 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder for a protein boost, if desired.

Blend until smooth and creamy, then pour into a glass.
