Hello Beauties!
Lately I’ve been inspired to start incorporating healthy foods into my diet in the least painful way. If you are anything like me, eating vegetables is the equivalent of crunching on dry leaves and tree branches. You would much rather be eating an ice cream sundae dripped with melted chocolate, sprinkles, strawberries…oh the dream!
So, in my world of smoothie experimentation I have come up with a pretty tasty juice smoothie that will really give you a healthy boost and glow. It was inspired by Robek’s TropiKale smoothie, new this summer. It is so sweet that you don’t even taste the kale.
Kale is a gem. By far one of the best vegetables you can put into your body. It prevents and combats cancer, is packed with antioxidants, helps with digestion and detox, and contains vitamins K, A and C.
I don’t exactly use measurements; I just add what feels right. So use your imagination, but try to stick to the guidelines if you want what I created. Also, feel free to go wild and add your own flare to this drink.
Here it is…Enjoy!
Katie’s Kale Kandy:What you will need:
¼ cup frozen (preferably) pineapple
2 cups of kale
½ a banana
3 ice cubes
Some sort of “green” juice (I use “Green Plant” from Trader Joes)
If you have
a Trader Joes near you, I find that to be the best place to pick up your
ingredients! Any store that sells USDA certified organic is great.
Once you
have all of the ingredients, blend until it looks like a smoothie!I hope you love it! And feel great because you are putting wonderful things in. Your body is a temple, the only one you were given, so take care of it!
