Jessica Alba’s Slimming Smoothie
Just because it’s sweets season doesn’t mean your figure has to suffer! This delicious “Green Monster” concoction from Jessica Alba (originally shared on her eco company’s website, honest.com) is filled with flavor while remaining incredibly diet-friendly. According to NYC dietician Cher Pastori, R.D., every ingredient in this smoothie packs a nutritional punch without packing on the pounds.
It utilizes kale as a highly nutritious, low-calorie base, alongside high-fiber strawberries to keep you full and raspberries to help boost your metabolism. The addition of protein-rich Greek yogurt keeps you satisfied and helps build lean muscle, while a touch of raw honey or molasses adds the perfect amount of sweetness for fewer calories than regular sugar.

kcalIngredients
2 cups raw organic kale, roughly chopped (organic spinach is also a substitute)
1/3 cup organic raspberries
1/3 cup organic strawberries, quartered
6 oz organic Greek yogurt, plain or vanilla
1 Tbsp organic raw honey or molasses
Filtered water (as needed)
Directions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the chopped kale, raspberries, strawberries, Greek yogurt, and honey (or molasses) into a blender.
- Blend and Adjust: Blend all the ingredients together until smooth. Add filtered water slowly, as needed, to help the blending process and reach your desired consistency.
- Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy! For extra fun, serve in festive cups or drink through a silly straw.
Notes
- Make it Frosty: If you prefer a thick, frozen drink, swap out the fresh berries for frozen fruit, or wash and freeze your fresh kale ahead of time.
- Greens Swap: If you find the flavor of raw kale too earthy or simply don’t have it on hand, organic baby spinach makes a fantastic, mild-tasting substitute.
