Prepare the Cream Base: First, add the chilled coconut milk and orange juice to the carafe of your high-powered blender. Scoop in the avocado flesh and add the almond butter.
Create a Silky Foundation: Secure the lid and blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds. The goal is to create a perfectly smooth, emulsified liquid foundation without any lumps. This step ensures the final texture is exceptionally creamy.
Integrate the Greens: Add the baby kale to the carafe, packing it down if necessary. If using, add the vanilla protein powder at this stage.
Liquefy the Power Greens: Pulse the blender 4–5 times to break down the kale, then blend on high for 45–60 seconds, or until the mixture is uniformly vibrant green and completely smooth. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides if needed.
Add the Frozen Fruits: Incorporate the frozen banana slices and the frozen berry medley into the blender. The frozen elements will chill and thicken the smoothie.
Final Blend & Serve: Place the lid back on tightly and blend on high for another 60–90 seconds, using the blender’s tamper if necessary to press the frozen fruit into the blades. Blend until the smoothie is thick, frosty, and has a consistent, rich colour. Pour evenly into four glasses and serve immediately.
