So I have read and heard a few times
that Kale is very good for you but not sure why...so I looked into it
a little.
It is crazy rich in many vitamins and minerals. Also has antioxidants and fiber!
Now I have also read that Kale and
Blueberries are superfoods.
What is a
superfood you ask?
Superfoods are a special category of foods found in nature. By definition they are calorie sparse and nutrient dense meaning they pack a lot of punch for their weight as far as goodness goes. They are superior sources of anti-oxidants and essential nutrients - nutrients we need but cannot make ourselves.
And
after all this guess what I had blueberries and kale in my fridge
that I needed to get rid of as soon as possible! So I made a
smoothie!
Blueberry
Kale Smoothie
½
cup greek yogurt
1 cup
frozen blueberries
1
banana
½ a
small bundle of kale (about 5 leaves, no stems)
2
teaspoons honey
¼
cup water
Place
it all in the blender and blend!
So it
was really good, the blueberries mask the kale but I think I did add
too much kale (My 5 leaves were pretty big) so even though it was
chopped up in the blender I still could feel little pieces of leaves
on my teeth when I bit down. Next time I will not put so much kale.
Second
Blueberry Kale Smoothie
2
cups chopped kale
1 cup
frozen blueberries
1 cup
unsweetened Vanilla almond milk
1
tablespoon agave nectar
2
teaspoon peanut butter
1
pinch of sea salt
So I do not have any pictures of this one I just made it and tried it and I did not like it. I could not get over the peanut butter taste and smell with blueberries. But go ahead and try for yourself.
