Green Smoothie Of The Day: All Hail To Kale
Though all veggies and fruits are true superfoods, kale always seems to steal the show when it comes to leafy greens.
So while Popeye ate spinach to boost his strength, should you be choosing trendy kale instead? Let's take a look at its impressive nutritional profile.
It is rich in vitamin K, vitamin A, and vitamin C along with other vital nutrients. These include manganese, copper, calcium. vitamin B6, iron, potassium, magnesium, folate, riboflavin, thiamin, phosphorus, protein, fiber, niacin, zinc, selenium, sodium, and omega 3 and 6.
Quite impressive isn't it!
The health benefits of kale include detoxification, heart support, cancer prevention, brains support, healthy skin, healthy vision, among others.
A true superfood that deserves all its fame, don;t you reckon! ALL HAIL TO KALE!!!

That looks really tasty 😊 I just started doing smoothies again recently. I'm on a gym kick and trying to get in solid shape. Smoothies are the best way to slam some fiber and protein and get good flavor.
Thank you so much. Green smoothies have been my go-to breakfast on most days for 5 years now and just love them! Just watch your trailer of Grinder on your website. Added to the to watch list!
Thank you! It is my current passion project. We played in Mumbai last month 😊. On the smoothie side there is an interesting interaction between kale and calcium that most people don't know of. You shouldn't pair it with dairy because it messes with calcium absorption.
Not if you add a healthy oil or fat such as coconut oil or avocado to improve absorption! But I'll keep this in mind and add some homemade yogurt more often Thanks for the tip and good luck with all that you do! I'll let you know what I think of the movie once I've seen it!
