Kale Smoothie

Kale SmoothieI love this shake and like to refer to it as the “Lean Green Machine.”  Because of the Kale, the shake is extremely high in both Vitamin A and Vitamin C.  To round out the protein, I’ll often will have it with an egg-white omelet for lunch. It is packed with nutrients and is really flavorful. It is sort of like Gazpacho…but if you can imagine even healthier. It is also a great time-saver if you want to avoid making a salad.

Ingredients

1/4 Cucumber
2 cups Kale
1/8 cup Red Onion
1/4 cup Red Pepper
6 ounces Tomato Juice – No Salt Added
1 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
1/4 cup water

Directions

Put in a blender and blend until smooth. Drink immediately.

    Can you substitute spinach for kale?

      Hi Julie!
      Absolutely. Spinach is a great green for smoothies. It is a lot more mild in taste…
