kale smoothie

i have fallen in love with this new kale smoothie recipe from Dr. Josh Axe. my husband got me his cookbook for christmas and i can't stop cooking things from it! i love that everything is extremely healthy, yet pretty simple to make! i have been making this kale smoothie about 3-4 times a week! it makes me feel so healthy and good knowing that these nutrients are going straight to naomi as well! 

kale is wealth  of nutrition. it is high in iron, fiber, antioxidants, vitamin A, and calcium to name a few...read here for more great benefits (like how it's a disease fighter!!)

oh and this smoothie is quite delicious too!

Ingredients:

1/2 bunch kale

1 banana, peeled

1/4 cup red grapes

1/2 cup of ice

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 dash of cayenne pepper (to taste)

1/2 cup of water

Now, my version is a little different....i swapped a few things out.

1/2 bunch kale

1 banana, peeled

1/4 cup red grapes 1 cup of frozen fruit (mango, strawberries, blueberries, etc) in place of grapes & ice

1/2 cup of ice

1 tsp. vanilla

1 tsp. cinnamon

1 dash of cayenne pepper (to taste) not a fan of this so i just don't put it in there!

1/2 cup of water

Then, you just put all of the ingredients in the blender! 

Lastly, put in cup, add a straw, and enjoy!
