    Updated with some new pictures, additional text, and recipe re-write (originally posted March 6, 2017).

    Whisk together chia seeds and coconut milk in glass or bowl. Refrigerate for 8 minutes. Full ingredients amounts and complete instructions in the recipe card down below.

    Why soak the chia seeds?

    The chia seeds develop a gelatinous coating (kind of a tapioca pudding texture) when soaked in liquid, which thickens the smoothie and helps it blend more easily to create a satisfying creamier texture.

    A bowl containing frozen pineapple chunks and chopped apples and a stainer containing chopped kale.

    As the chia seeds gel up, prepare the other ingredients like chopping up the kale and apples and measuring out the ingredients. Of course since this is a smoothie, you can add more or less of each ingredient to get to the taste that you like.

    Then place all the ingredients in a high powered blender and blend until smooth. Best enjoyed immediately.

    This kale smoothie is good for you.

    In particular, raw kale is low in calories, very high in vitamin K, a rich source of vitamin A, B6, C, and folate while chia seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, high in protein, and full of vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iron, and magnesium.

    Apple (I like Gala apples) and frozen pineapple chunks not only add natural sweet and tart flavours, but also are a good source of dietary fiber, antioxidants, and vitamins C.
