That’s right folks, its National Kale Day!
I wasn’t always a lover of Kale but in the last few years my husband has opened my eyes to the green super food. We’ve made kale chips, included it in our salads and smoothies too. Best of all the smoothie our 3-year-old loves!
Since its National Kale Day, I thought I would share some benefits of Kale:
And now for the smoothie recipe I came across months ago from All Things G & D:
A Month’s worth of Green Smoothies (only one day of preparation):
Ingredients
1 c. Kale (stems removed, coarsely chopped, firmly packed)
1/2 c. Parsley (loosely packed)
1 Granny Smith Apple
1 Banana
2 1/4 c. water
~~~
Changes I’ve made to this recipe:
- I add a little greek coconut yogurt
- And a little orange juice.
I also like the fact you can pre-package the smoothie in bags and take them out of the freezer as needed. Bonus for busy people! And my toddler loves this smoothie.
Kale smoothie for 2!

Spinach smoothies are yummy too 🙂
Oh yay! I love kale, I just didn’t know we had a day dedicated to it’s awesomeness. I add it to everything- smoothies, pizza, quesadillas, salad…you name it! For my smoothie, it’s usually kale, banana, almond milk, chia seeds, protein powder or fat-free plain Greek yogurt, and some sort of frozen fruit (typically mango, strawberries, or blueberries)
My husband put’s it on his pizza’s too. I’m going to have to try your smoothie, thanks for sharing.
Wow! I never had this before. I will try this today! 🙂
Hope you like it!
I LOVE kale! I prefer it sauteed with garlic and salt, or fresh in salads. I always let it just sit and marinade in dressing an hour or so before I prepare the rest of the salad. It helps add flavor to the leaves.
Garlic and salt – sounds so simple but I bet it taste awesome!
Love Kale!!! But it’s so expensive in Singapore… I was in US last week and they are so affordable at Costco!
Too bad it’s so expensive. gotta love Costco 🙂
