INGREDIENTS

PREPERATION

1. Place the kale, strawberries and yogurt into

your blender. (If you use fresh strawberries,

and are looking for a slushy consistency, you’ll

want to add up to 1 cup of ice; if you use frozen

strawberries, you may want to add less ice, if

any at all).

2. On full strength, blend the ingredients

together until the kale looks like it is finely

incorporated into the smoothie

3. Enjoy your vitamin- and mineral-packed

smoothie! Try other delicious kale smoothie

recipes, or simply add kale into your favorite

blended protein shakes.
