Steps
Add the frozen blueberries, frozen pineapple, kale, banana, coconut milk, yogurt, and protein powder (if using) to a blender.
Blend all ingredients together until smooth and creamy.
If the mixture is too thick, you can add more plant-based milk or water to reach your desired consistency. If it's too thin, add more frozen fruit or a few ice cubes.
