Mango and pineapple give this kale smoothie two different kinds of tropical sweetness. Coconut milk supplies the creamy base, so banana is unnecessary. Mango contributes smooth body, while pineapple stops the flavor from becoming too rounded or heavy.
Strawberries and cacao give this kale smoothie a fruit-and-chocolate character. Almond milk carries the cocoa flavor, and banana softens berry tartness. Expect a more layered result than a plain chocolate milkshake, with the leaves still contributing to the mixture.
Kiwi and strawberry bring a tangy fruit pairing to a kale-based smoothie. Orange supplies much of the juice, and banana adds body. Lemon sharpens the finish, making this combination suitable for people who enjoy a pronounced citrus flavor.
Kale has a more assertive flavor than many smoothie fruits, so pineapple and lime are useful partners. Avocado gives the mixture a creamy body, while ginger adds a little warmth. This version is intended for people who enjoy a green smoothie with a noticeable vegetable character.
