I had some kale in the fridge and didn’t know what I wanted to do with it. Spent 5 minutes on the internet and came up with this smoothie recipe. I made it last night for Anja and I to split. I didn’t have any ground flax and didn’t want to include the whole seeds, so I skipped that, and I put in a scoopful of my Juice Plus+ Complete powder, which probably helped sweeten it a little more.
I was surprised how good it tasted, considering raw kale by itself is not my favorite thing. Mine needed an ice cube–I’m not a big fan of warm smoothies. And Anja…she LOVED it! She actually fussed when it was gone! I think we have a new snack/breakfast item at our house. And check out the nutritional info! Super-duper healthy.

I’ve enjoyed seeing all of your Christmas decorations. Very nice!
I’m going to take a pass on the kale smoothie. 🙂
It’s great that you have a little one who tries so many new things!
That sounds kinda tasty, actually!
I have trouble even FINDING kale locally, which is a sign of how grim things can be, nutritionally, in local grocery stores.
Kale smoothie?!?!? OH HECK NO!!! Ewwww!!! I applaud your healthiness though and think it is great your baby likes it. But… ewwww!
I wanted to pop in and wish y’all a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
If you ever have leftover kale again, look up the recipe for “Maryland Stuffed Ham”. It’s part of the culture down here!
Wow. You are BRAVE, Heidi! I have a feeling my husband would love it though…next time kale is on sale…
I cant get past the maple syrup. I dont know why, but I was almost convinced it may be good, until I read maple syrup. I cannot bring myself to like the taste… if you find something to substitute it with.
Strawberries and Kale, now that may be tasty…
