Green Smoothie (shh...there's kale in it)

Author Notes

I love kale, but alas my husband is an avid hater of all things kale, I've tried every thing I can think of to get more of this superfood into our diet. I finally found a way to sneak it in, blending it into oblivion and adding lots of ginger and fruit. The key to this smoothie is to blend for quite a while to make sure the kale is completely incorporated. You can also add pretty much any fruit you have to the base, blueberries (frozen wild) grapefruit and pineapple all work well. I generally serve this with lunch, more as a juice. But you could easily bulk it up by adding kefir or yogurt and some whey protein and turning it into a meal. As the new year begins, it's great have something that's good to eat and good for you. —MGrace
