Follow @kalejunkie for more and WELCOME TO THE ANNUAL KJ SMOOTHIE CHALLENGE!! 💪🏼This is a fun, EASY and very delicious way to start the new year right and get more fruits, veggies, and protein into your daily routine! ⁣
⁣
The Scoop: I will be dropping ONE NEW nutrient-dense smoothie recipe every Monday in January (starting today, with the ULTIMATE KALE SMOOTHIE THAT TASTES SO GOOD, YOU WON’T EVEN TASTE THE KALE!). And don’t worry, they won’t all be green smoothies, this one just happens to be!⁣
⁣
Your challenge: Drink FOUR smoothies per week. Only 4! These can be at any time of day, and at any point during the week, and they can be ANY smoothie recipe of mine that you’d like if this one doesn’t appeal to you (check my blog). But you have to have 4 of them! *This will be done on the honor system. ⁣
⁣
I’ve created a checklist that you can screenshot from my stories that you can use to stay on track each week. If you want a printable version, sign up for my newsletter and I’ll email it to you!⁣
 ⁣
The GIVEAWAY: TWO (2) of you will win a Vitamix blender. To enter, POST your smoothie on your IG story or feed and TAG me (@kalejunkie) and use the hashtag #KJsmoothiechallenge. One post = one entry, and you can enter as many times as you’d like! ⁣
 ⁣
At the end of the month, I will pick two winners so you can stock up on healthy smoothie ingredients for the rest of the year!⁣
⁣
ULTIMATE KALE SMOOTHIE - Makes 1 smoothie⁣
1 1/2 cups chopped kale (any variety, I prefer curly kale)⁣
1 cup frozen mango or pineapple chunks⁣
2 medjool dates, pits removed (optional)⁣
1 scoop vanilla or unsweetened protein powder⁣
1 lemon, squeezed⁣
1/2 inch piece fresh ginger⁣ (no need to peel it!)
1 1/4 cups almond milk ⁣
Garnish: sprinkling of hemp hearts⁣
⁣
Add all ingredients to a high speed blender and blend until creamy and smooth. You might need to scrape down the sides of the blender and/or add more liquid.⁣
⁣
ENJOY AND HAVE FUN! I’ll be going this alongside you!!!⁣
