HOW TO MAKE THE BEST TASTING KALE SMOOTHIE


                Move over Spinach there's a new Kale in town!

Here's a easy to make powerhouse smoothie, packed with nutrients and vitamins. I love this smoothie it tastes so good and it's good for you. This smoothie can be made anytime of day. I usually have a kale smoothie for breakfast.  Kale is a wonder vegetable. It’s one of the healthiest vegetables on the planet. Kale is very high in Beta – Carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin K and very rich in calcium. Eating a diet rich in Vitamin K is known for lowering the risk of developing cancer.
A great way to get kale in your diet daily is to make delicious kale smoothies. Kale can be bought in bags already pre chopped and cleaned, this makes for easy preparation for your smoothies. 
 
 
 
                             Pre packaged kale is great to use for smoothies, juicing and cooking
 
 
 
 Bananas has twice as many carbohydrates as an apple, five times as much Vitamin A and iron and three times as much phosphorus. In addition, bananas are also rich in potassium and natural sugars. Eating only two bananas will give you enough energy to exercise or workout for an hour and a half.
 
Strawberries contains Antioxidants, Anti- Inflammatory properties and has Anti-Cancer properties. The combination of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agents found in strawberries is well-known to fight against the onset of many different forms of cancer. One cup of strawberries contains over 13% of the RDA of dietary fiber, yet only 43 calories. The dietary fiber in strawberries helps to keep digestion regular, as well as lowers blood pressure and curbs overeating.
 
Almond Milk is a alternative to cow's milk. Almond milk has a rich and creamy taste. It's lower in fat and calories than regular cow's milk. It's high in vitamins A, D and E  and also rich in calcium. Vitamins A and E act as antioxidants, enhancing immunity and protecting the body's cells and tissues from damage. In addition, vitamin A is important for healthy eyesight and supports normal growth and development. Vitamin D helps build and maintain strong bones and teeth, and enhances immunity
