An immune-boosting Kale Mango Ginger Smoothie that’s ready in less than 5 minutes and packed full of kale, zucchini, mango, banana, and zingy ginger!
What can I say, the green smoothie queen is back! Kale crown and all…haha. You don’t think I would do a fall smoothie recipe that wasn’t green, did you? As you guys know by now, green smoothies have and always will be my first love…sorry Mr. Matt!
This nutrient-packed kale mango ginger smoothie is a variation of my usual morning green smoothie but with an extra kick. Unlike my other green smoothie recipes, I thought I would switch it up by adding steamed and frozen zucchini. It’s just my way of sneaking in more veggies without compromising taste. What I love about zucchini is that it has a mild yet slightly sweet taste and adds a thick creamy texture to any smoothie without having to add in more fruit. It’s also packed full of vitamins, high in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties. The sweet mangoes and bananas will make you forget there’s kale in this smoothie, especially if you’re not a fan, but know it’s good for you!
The great thing about this simple smoothie recipe is that you can vary the ingredients. Switch the mangoes with pineapples, curly kale with spinach, and if you only have fresh zucchini on hand, go ahead and toss them in. For a boost of protein add a dollop of your favourite nut butter or vanilla plant-based protein powder and you’re good to go.

For some reason when I make this the texture is completely different than yours looks! What am i doing wrong?! Is it just my blender?? The greens just aren’t blending down enough and I tried to blend for longer but that didn’t help. Texture is a huge part of a smoothie for me and the flavor is amazing for this!
Love this Ginger Smoothie. Will ask my chef to check this out and learn this from you 🙂
