Kiwi Kale Anti-Inflammatory Smoothie
A refreshing, nutrient-rich smoothie featuring kiwi, kale, chia seeds, turmeric, and ginger—designed to fight inflammation, support digestion, and energize your mornings.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe kiwi, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup fresh kale or spinach if preferred
- 0.5 small banana optional for sweetness
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger or 1 small knob fresh ginger

- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk or oat milk
- 0.5 lemon juiced
- 0.5 cup ice optional
Instructions
- Soak chia seeds overnight in 3 tablespoons of water or almond milk and refrigerate.
- Wash kale and remove thick stems. Roughly chop the leaves.
- Pour almond milk into blender first to help ingredients blend smoothly.
- Add kiwi, banana, and kale to the blender.
- Add turmeric, ginger, ground flaxseed, and soaked chia seeds.
- Squeeze lemon juice directly into the blender. Add ice if desired.
- Blend on high for 30–60 seconds until creamy and smooth.
- Taste and adjust: add more almond milk if too thick, or sweeten with mango chunks or a date if needed.
Notes
You can prep smoothie freezer packs with kale, kiwi, banana, turmeric, and ginger for the week. Keep soaked chia seeds ready in a jar in the fridge. For less bitterness, massage kale with lemon juice before blending. Frozen kiwi creates a creamy, sorbet-like texture.
