Food Spotlight: Kale



If you have never eaten kale before, you are missing out on a world of nutrition!

Kale is a superfood that will pump your body full vitamins, detoxify it, boost your entire circulatory system, and so much more!  Beware that some types of kale taste sweeter than others.  Whenever it's available in supermarkets, I get lacinato (or dino) kale.

My favorite juice recipe for kale is simple:

6-8 large kale leaves
1 cucumber
4 stalks of celery
2 granny smith apples
1/2 lemon
1 ginger knob (about the size of a quarter)
Serves two!

It can also be made into some fantastic tasting (and fantastic for you) salads.  Some of those recipes can be found here.  It will be like sending a cleaning crew through your body for somewhere between $2-$4.  That can't be beat.
