Kale Smoothie

Day 23 of the food challenge. I think I’ve eaten enough eggs in the past 3 weeks to turn myself into a chicken. When I need a break and want a tasty snack that does not involve a hard boiled egg – this is my new favorite go-to.  My brother first told me about a kale shake months ago and I remember having reservations (or fears) that it would taste like bitter grass.  But it’s surprisingly delicious, smooth and tasty.  The only annoying thing is that you have to break out the good ol’ blender and that’s never fun to wash. But it’s such an easy way to get your greens down!  The recipe is a random assortment of ingredients – please feel free to play with the ratios of greens and fruit. It happened to be what was in our fridge when I made it.

Ingredients
Makes 2-3 servings
1 banana
5 medium kale leaves
2 clementines
8 strawberries
1 whole carrot
1/2 avocado

Directions
Put all items in a blender until desired consistency. Best served immediately. Enjoy!
