I’ve got a totally new spin on “milk and cereal” that will definitely kick things up a notch! A few notches actually. During this wonderful time of year when strawberry season has officially begun and my winter veggie garden (that’s full of kale and other greens) hasn’t quite given up yet, these strawberry and kale smoothie bowls are the perfect good-for-you way to start the day! They also make a great afternoon snack as well.

Strawberry and Kale Smoothie Bowl
Ingredients
- 2 cups kale (big stems removed)
- 2 cups strawberries (fresh or frozen or a combo)
- 4 frozen bananas (peel before freezing, the riper they are the sweeter they’ll be)
- 1 cup milk (or more (see note at end of recipe))
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
- Blend kale, strawberries, and bananas until smooth.
- Toast the oats and coconut in a dry skillet over medium-low heat until the coconut begins to turn golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Divide the smoothie into bowls, top with the oats and coconut, and serve with spoons.
Notes
Nutrition Facts
Sounds great! My strawberries in Eastern Washington are just beginning to bloom! It will be a few weeks before I can harvest! I’d probably add a little vanilla or almond extract.
What could be substituted for the banana? I can’t eat them.
I can’t eat banana either! In smoothies that call for banana, I sometimes just leave it out. Sometimes I’ll add mango or avocado instead since both add thickness to a smoothie.
Frozen cauliflower rice is a WONDERFUL option to replace banana!! Less sugar and you don’t even taste the cauliflower!
Looks delicious! Adding it to my list of recipes to try. Just one note, however: people with tree nut allergies are usually also allergic to coconut (my son is allergic).
Hey there, I have peanut and tree nut allergies and can tolerate coconut just fine! Coconuts and almonds are not technically “tree nuts.” Everybody’s situation is different!
