Lacinato Kale/Spinach smoothie

by Thea Rott
(Vancouver, BC, Canada)

Four large leaves of Lacinato kale (black kale) including stems
equal amount of organic Spinach
1/2 to 1 banana
5 - 8 strawberries
1 Mint leave
1 organic pitted date
Spring water

Increase each ingredient depending desired end quantity.

I HAVE ANOTHER ONE BUT IT IS A LACINATO KALE SALAD:

Tear off leaves from the stems off the Lacinato kale, shred into small pieces by hand and put into a bowl, add juice of 1/2 to 1 lemon, add a bit of organic Celtic sea salt, massage kale till soft than add a good handful of Thompson Okanagan raisins, one peeled and diced organic apple, drizzle a bit of sesame oil, toss salad and serve.

*DaNae's Note: Thank you for taking the time to share your delicious kale smoothie and salad recipes. I do appreciate it! I'm sure that the mint leaf adds an unique twist of flavor.
