This smoothie is delicious and makes you feel so good.  Kale packs a more nutrient-dense punch when raw, and I don’t always have time to make an interesting salad, so I am trying to incorporate it into my smoothies these days.  By the way, we aren’t eating enough kiwis!

Did you know that kiwis:

• have protein dissolving enzymes that aid in digestion?
• help regulate blood pressure with their high potassium?
• are high in antioxidants?
• boost your immune system with their high levels of vitamin C?
• flush toxins out of the body through the GI tract with their fuzzy skin?
• prevent macular degeneration with their high levels of lutein and zeaxanthin?
• promote healthy skin with high levels of vitamin E?

Kiwi Kale Smoothie

Serves 1.

• 1 cup coconut water
• 2 kiwis, peeled
• 3-4 leaves of kale, roughly chopped, stalks removed
• 1 teaspoon grated/chopped ginger
• 2 ice cubes

Blend all ingredients together in a powerful blender or Vitamix until smooth.  Serve immediately.

Do you like trying new green smoothie recipes as much as I do or do you miss my recipes for “real food”?  Let me know!
