KALE
101



Kale has recently become a staple in my diet, packed with rich vitamins, calcium, antioxidants and so much more, its super powers should be a part of you're daily life.

It's as easy as adding Kale to you're daily super food smoothies every morning, or in place of lunch.
You can add banana's , strawberries, advocado, mango, cantaloupe, you name it you can add it to you're kale smoothie.


My daily Kale smoothie consists of
  • Camino Cocoa Power (All Natural/Fair Trade) - 2Tps
  • Silk Almond Vanilla  - 1Cup
  •  Flax Seed (Grounded) - 1Tps
  • Fresh Organic Kale - 1Cup

I usually put in some banana's and strawberries, but if I forgot to pick some up, this would be my backup. If the kale gives my blender a hard time I usually put in some water, or more almond milk, and I usually just eye ball how much kale I put in, but usually around 1Cup.


My energy goes up 100% after I get this into me. I'm very busy all day, and all night, so this baby helps. I lack iron like most woman, so this is a better and healthier alternative than taking iron pills.

  1. I like kale chips - takes a while to "bake" them, but they are tasty - I add a bit of Parmesan cheese on them. I like Dr. Alkaitis' products - I have their toner and balancing fluid :)
