The Magical Vegetable KALE!

IMG_20131008_164421This is Sarah Annabelle my granddaughter and she just loves smoothie’s with kale, filled with Antioxidants / Nutrition / Vitamins and Minerals

Healthy, healthy, healthy

Kale is low in calorie, high in fiber and has zero fat. One cup of kale has only 36 calories, 5 grams of fiber and 0 grams of fat. It is great for aiding in digestion and elimination.

Kale is high in iron. Per calorie, kale has MORE IRON than beef.

Kale is filled with powerful antioxidants. Antioxidants, such as carotenoids and flavonoids help protect against various cancers.

Kale is a great anti-inflammatory food. One cup of kale is filled with 10% of the RDA of omega-3 fatty acids, which help, fight against arthritis, asthma and autoimmune disorders.

Kale is great for cardiovascular support. Eating more kale can help lower cholesterol levels.

Kale is high in Vitamin C. This is very helpful for your immune system, your metabolism and your hydration. Important as the winter months roll in.

Kale is high in calcium. Per calorie, kale has more calcium than milk, which aids in preventing bone loss, preventing osteoporosis and maintaining a healthy metabolism.

Green Almond Milk Smoothie

IMG_95733 We’ve all tried making a smoothie, and there are so many ways of making one fruits, veggies, milk and so on. There are so many people out there that like to experiment with this but there are also the majority of you who don’t.

You go to your grocery store and most people go for the easy pick, the pre-cut frozen smoothie mixes, i know i used to. When you get home you throw it in the mixer along with milk or yoghurt, some people even add sugar. My friend made me a smoothie once that had tons of sugar in it, and to top it all of she then added a big dash of whipped cream on top, yuck!

Then there are the people who like to add green’s in their IMG_9574smoothies, like we do! YUM! When i first started making green juice or green smoothies, people would look at me like “what is she doing”, but then they had a taste and i could tell their mind was racing trying to figure out all the different flavors and why this drink tastes so good, when all you have is raw fruits and vegetables.

My absolute favorite ingredient is Kale, it’s packed with all kinds of vitamin’s, iron, nutrients, calcium the list goes on!  We’ll post All you need to know about Kale later today, but now i wanna tell you about this smoothie!

Why not start your Monday morning with a nutritious Smoothie that will make you full and feel great! It’s packed with nutrients, vitamins, basically all you need to get a boost and jump start your day after a weekend of leisure :)
