The Beauty of Flavenoids Cont.

After doing more research, I've discovered that "green smoothies" are all the rave! Major health nuts like Green Smoothie Girl and Mark have some great recipes for these green slimy concoctions and I was definitely hesitant at first. Kale in a smoothie?? I can understand some V8 juice here and there but bitter veggies mixed with sweet berries for my morning wake up call did not sound too appetizing.

My latest obsession over kale caused me to continue browsing through various websites and reading comments about the taste and benefits of green smoothies. After reading the nutritional benefits of these green smoothies, I was pretty convinced. Not only that but the ease of making the smoothies seemed attractive as well as the hopeful idea that it would keep me fuller, longer through out the morning. Cereal can get pretty boring and my stomach is usually growling before 10am.

The Beauty of Flavenoids

Kale is a quiet ninja. It sits in the produce area among the carrots and bell peppers, often missed and unaccounted for. I never see it on a restaurant menu, it never shows up at family dinners and it just doesn't stand out in the grocery store, like the apples, broccoli or lettuce. No one would notice it unless they were looking for it and yet it is one of the most healthiest vegetables you can consume.
It's often colored with dark green, medium green or purple. Kale's thick, curly leaves can range from a slightly sweet taste to a bitter, potent taste. It's a hardy green that screams health.
