Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsweetened rice milk
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened dairy-free yogurt
  • 1 cup baby kale
  • 1 apple core removed and diced
  • 2-4 ice cubes
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil melted
  • Optional: 1-2 teaspoons maple syrup and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste

Instructions

  • Add all ingredients except coconut oil into the blender. Blend until smooth, adding more rice milk as needed to blend and achieve desired consistency. 
  • While the blender is running, open the cap in the lid and slowly stream in your melted coconut oil. This prevents the oil from clumping. Add maple syrup and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste.

Notes

Variations:
Higher Calorie:  Substitute coconut milk for rice milk or add ¼ of an avocado for extra calories and creaminess. Note that this will add on more potassium.
Higher Potassium Variations: Use spinach instead of kale; substitute 1 frozen banana for the ice cubes.
Higher Protein: Add chia, flax, or hemp seeds before blending.
Optional 1-2 tsp of maple syrup: 34 kcal | 0 gm fat | 0 gm protein | 9 gm carbohydrates | 0 mg phosphorus | 28 mg potassium
