It’s THE most popular of vegetables right now. We’ve all heard about what a superfood kale is. So many nutrients, so little time to consume them. Here’s what I love about this drink-a shake, if you’ll indulge me: it’s essentially good health in a glass. *Hassle: my Magic Bullet won’t blend my kale? I’ve been popping it in my food processor first, then add it to the rest of the smoothie ingredients in the Bullet. I really enjoy the crunch they add to my oatmeal and smoothies lately, but I chose not to include them in the recipe because I do not expect anyone to run out and purchase such a pricey ingredient only to use one tablespoon in a single-serving smoothie. I also added chia seeds because I recently bought a wacky amount of them on Amazon after reading so many of their amazing health benefits online (among other virtues, they’re a fantastic source of omega-3 fatty acids). Frozen banana, almond milk, yogurt, and kale-the ingredient that imparts that lovely Hulk-green hue. Let me start by telling what it is: a green smoothie. “Andrea it looks like…” Stop there.īut honestly, it’s not toxic sludge, even if that’s the impression you got. She stared as I sipped it-eyes wide-then immediately turned away and covered her mouth, gagging at what she’d just witnessed. My mom saw it and, well, I don’t think I should share this part publicly, but you know how good I am with keeping a tight lid on things that should remain private.
