‘Drinking Kale? That must be awful!’ That was what I was thinking until two days ago.
I have a food processor but did not own a juicer/smoothie maker until recently so I never tried making a smoothie before. A small glass of freshly squeezed orange juice first thing in morning is just good enough to me and I have never particularly wanted having a smoothie before. However, since I started my blog I have been reading posts about a smoothie on fellow bloggers. I was convinced that a Kale Smoothie is easy to make, good for health and also delicious!
When the juice maker came to my house I thought ‘Hmmm, I’ve got some organic Purple Kale in my fridge and also some fruit. I have a blender now … Why not try making a some smoothie with Purple KALE?’.
<Purple Kale Smoothie>
[ingredients]
(for 1-2 glass)
- Kale 3-4 leaves
- 1 Nectarine
- 1 ripe Banana
- some water & Ice cubes if you like
[direction]
Emmm, not much to say here. Just blitz them! If the machine does not run smoothly add some water to loosen up. You can add some ice cubes to make the smoothie extra cold.
So I had it. ‘Purple Kale Smoothie’! I have to say … It was quite good. Rather refreshing. Just one ripe Banana and one Nectarine gave enough sweetness to it and I did not need to add any sweetener such as sugar or honey. The Banana I used was frozen so that the smoothie was pleasantly cold enough and no need to add ice cubes.
Because this was my very first Kale Smoothie experience I went easy on the amount of Kale. Maybe I could have used more of them and that will be my next mission on Very Green Smoothie.
Sorry I’m not rushing to make kale smoothies. But how would you like a five photos five stories challenge. Congrats on being my last victim, nominee! :-D. If you can give it a try

Thank you for the nomination. Although I appreciate it very much, I have some problems. The challenge sounds very hard for me. Since I write in second language it takes ages for me to post. And the story? Any story? I mean not talking about your own thing (like food for me for instance)? I’ll be away from the end of this week so it might be difficult to post consecutive days…

It can be any thing with a photo. Didn’t have to be fiction, or consecutive days. It’s at your pace and could be food. Your choice on subject

I usually have cooked or boiled kale like in a side order. This is definitely a great idea. Thanks!
