Healthy Eating

My vegan friend A drinks a kale smoothie every day, and 30g of raw hemp protein. This is her Kale smoothie recipe.

1.5 tbsp of spirulina
1\2 tsp of ground ginger root powder
1 tsp of chlorella
3 leaves of kale
1 kiwi
1 tbsp of flaxseed oil
20 ounces of water
Blend everything except the flaxseed oil, pour into glass and stir in your 1 tbsp of flaxseed oil.

She enjoys it slowly.

So why kale? Kale is related to cabbage, broccoli and Brussels sprouts and has a flavor that is more suggestive of broccoli. Personally, I prefer to use kale in my green smoothie recipes over spinach because kale helps cut the sweetness of the fruit and delivers more than twice the recommended daily value of calcium than spinach.
Kale contains beta carotene, vitamin K, vitamin C, lutein, zeaxanthin (a carotenoid similar to lutein), calcium and fiber. A sulfur-containing phytonutrient in kale called sulforaphane is believed to have powerful anti-cancer, anti-diabetic and anti-microbial properties and is released when the leaves are chopped or chewed (or blended in a green smoothie!)
Kale also contains powerful antioxidants that help protect against certain cancers such as ovarian cancer. Kale is an excellent green to use for detox smoothies as it has cleansing properties. The nutrients in kale help protect against cataracts while promoting healthy lungs, cardiovascular health and boosts the immune system. Kale has anti-inflammatory properties making it an excellent food for those with rheumatoid arthritis.
