TLC Cooking "K is For Sneaking Kale into Smoothies"

Kale Smoothies

I know. This sounds horrible and insane but you'll be pleasantly surprised by this nutrient dense smoothie. A sweetness comes out of the kale and gives these smoothies a delicious, hard to pinpoint taste. This is a great way to sneak kale into someone's diet.

The smoothie comes out a beautiful pale, minty green. And like any smoothie recipe, you are free to play with it by adding extra fruits or nuts. But start off with this one as-is and taste that amazing kale vibe.

INGREDIENTS

2	frozen bananas
1 cup	kale, raw and coarsely chopped
1/2 tsp	vanilla
1 1/2 cup	milk of your choice
1 tbsp	honey

(My favorite variety for smoothies is lacinato.)(I usually use cow or soy for this)

PREPARATION:

Method

Throw the bananas in a blender along with the kale, vanilla, and a cup of the milk.
While it's running, pour in the rest of the milk and honey. You may need a little extra milk to get it to the consistency you like.
