For the better part of the past 15 years, I have found a way to sneak kale into my daily meal plan. I usually throw it into a smoothie but periodically I will steam or sauté it, and on the rare occasion I want a salad, I will use it as the main ingredient. The past few months, I’ve been making this smoothie almost every morning. It is pure alchemy and nourishes every single cell in the body. I can feel a difference in my energy moments after I drink it.

3-4 frozen bananas

4 cups chopped kale (more or less depending on your taste)

1 inch chunk of fresh ginger root

1 inch chunk of fresh turmeric root

handful of micro greens (about 1/2 cup)

handful of cilantro (about 1 cup)

1-2 cups of water (more or less depending on your preference)

ice (optional)

Mix well in blender until you’ve reached desired texture. Enjoy!
