This green smoothie with strawberry is made using simple, healthy, whole ingredients.
Yes, kale is a superfood nutrient and contains generous amounts of fiber, vitamins A, K, B6, and C, calcium, potassium, copper, and manganese while also being low in calories. The vitamin K in kale may be a problem for anyone taking blood thinners so be sure to check with your doctor if this is a concern.
No, I don’t recommend using the stems, especially the larger ends. These can be quite fibrous and may not blend up super well in the smoothie. You are better off reserving the ends to use in soups or stews where they are cooked for a long time to soften up more.
Sure, there’s nothing really unhealthy about having a green smoothie every day. Just be sure to watch the sugar content and serving size so you don’t overdo it. You might also want to vary up the ingredients a bit so you are getting a bit more variety in the nutrients you are getting.
Here are a few choices for ways to add a little variety to your smoothie.
