Kale is like the super man of vegetables - for so many reasons. Its first knockout punch comes from a whopping dose of antioxidant vitamins A,C, and K. These vitamins work to decrease your cancer risk, lower your cholesterol, and keep your skin glowing. Kale rounds out its awesomeness by being relatively inexpensive considering what you are getting nutritionally for your buck.
Smoothies are part of my daily routine - and kale smoothies are my second favorite type. The fascinating thing about the recipe that follows is that while your smoothie turns out slimy green (totally appetizing sounding right?) what you end up tasting is unexpectedly citrusy and fresh.
