No Fail Chocolate Kale Smoothie (for kids AND adults!)
The timeless question...how can I eat more greens? The even more timeless question...how can I get my kids to eat more greens?
Stop what you are doing and really listen...THIS! This Chocolate Kale Smoothie is amazeballs. Seriously, it's delicious. That is why I call it "no fail". You might actually want to drink the whole thing yourself. But you won't, because that would be mean. And you are not a mean parent...I know this because you are reading about kale.
And if you or someone in your family has dietary restrictions, this is a pretty safe smoothie for most. You can easily sub any type of liquid to meet your requirements to make it nut-free or dairy-free and it's already naturally gluten-free.
No Fail Chocolate Kale Smoothie Recipe (for kids AND adults!)
No Fail Chocolate Kale Smoothie (for kids and adults!)
Get some greens and antioxidants into yourself (and your kids) with this delicious chocolate smoothie.
1 cup chocolate hazelnut milk (you can substitute any chocolate milk (example: almond, coconut, oat, etc))
1 cup frozen blueberries (can also be fresh but it's easier to find organic frozen blueberries)
2-3 leaves kale (roughly broken up, use stems!)
2 Tbsp raw cacao powder
1/2 banana, fresh or frozen
Blend everything in a high powered blender (we use a Vitamix) for a couple of minutes and drink to your health!
Add 1 Tbsp collagen for added health benefits and some protein.
Raw honey: 1 Tbsp can be added if you are weaning you (or your child’s) taste buds away from sugary, sweet foods towards less sweet tasting foods. Try to decrease the amount of honey as your taste buds adjust. (Don't give honey to children under 1 year of age.)
You can sprinkle extra raw cacao powder or raw hemp seeds on top if you want some delicious decoration.
Smoothie Power-ups
Want to add an even bigger nutrition punch to your smoothie?
Add 1-2 Tablespoon of grass-fed collagen* before blending.
*Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides is what we use in our home. The quality is superb and you can save 20% on your first order and 10% on each subsequent order when you subscribe. This beats the price on Amazon!)
What is collagen good for?
According to Dr. Anthony Gustin, and a bunch of research, collagen is beneficial for:
Brain & Alzheimer's protection
Reducing back pain
Improving skin elasticity
Strengthening nails and hair
Easing joint and knee pain
Preventing and helping to treat heart disease
Healing leaky gut syndrome
Plus, it's a good source of protein!
Summertime: make it into a popsicle!
This smoothie can also be frozen in popsicle molds for a healthy frozen snack. YUM! Your kids will LOVE this "treat" on hot summer days!
Get these popsicle molds here.
Shop more popsicle molds in Shop My Kitchen.
Do you want to know what Vitamix I use day in and day out going on 7 years?
Check it out here. Note: If you buy this amazing Vitamix blender through my affiliate link then I will get some money to go buy more hemp seeds, but not enough to open a smoothie shop. There is no extra cost to you. I appreciate the support! Remember, I only recommend the products that I use and love!
What to do now?
After you make this smoothie leave a comment, I would love to know if you thought it was a delicious healthy treat....or otherwise?? And post a pic of you and your smoothie on Instagram and tag me! @lunchwithleah
Happy slurping!

What it's like to work with Leah
Kim Morrow
I am so much more conscious of what I am putting into my body and I actually feel really empowered and good about myself by saying no to the foods that are not good for me. At Dinner the other night, my husband and kids kept asking me to try one french fry or one bite of their dessert, and I just smiled and said 'no thank you'.
Marisa Lonic
With 20+ post partum pounds, I was looking for a program to help me. I was blown away working with Leah. I lost 9 pounds, felt less tired and formed healthy habits that are now j7st part of my new normal.
Jonelle Fernandes
My whole adult life I have struggled with eating healthy, never really feeling satisfied and giving in to very unhealthy choices. Leah is a phenomenal wealth of knowledge and support when it comes to nutrition. It is because of her programs that I am FINALLY eating healthy on a regular basis! I feel the best I’ve ever felt, I have more energy, better sleep, less inflammation, better skin, and a better mood! Not to mention, I lost 11 pounds and the weight is continuing to come off!
