I just made my wake up time juice, yes I know it is 4:30 PM, but I work nights. This is my morning time. This juice today was a bunch of kale, cucumber, an orange, and a carrot. It is quite tasty. Now, if you are new to juicing like I am, you probably are thinking, what is kale and why do juicers keep going on about it?

Here is a link from whole foods describing its benefits. Basically it is one of the most nutrient dense leafy greens you can buy. It is a super food.
When you’re juicing you won’t see much juice come out of kale. You may be thinking, “Do I have to juice 10 lbs for one cup of juice?” No, add a cucumber or some other veggie that has a lot of water in it to give your juice some bulk. The kale juice may be small, but don’t worry, it is packing a punch of nutrients for your body.
If you want to eat your kale in a non-juice form, kale chips are all the rage. It’s a great way to have “chips” with no carbs. Here is a link to a recipe for those.

Next time you’re out buying juicing supplies, do not forget the kale!
Kale is the best..love it and put it in my juice every morning! Thanks for helping spread the word
It is super healthy!
Kale is crazy good!!!!! I love it in smoothies, juiced..soooo good!
I know! I am going produce shopping tonight and will be buying a ton!
It took me a good minute to get use to Kale in my juice. Before I started researching proper portions I use to do bunches of Kale and a host of other leafy vegetables and it tasted like fresh watered grass; the smell matched. Now I do…5 Kale leaves, 4 green apples, a lemon, a cucumber and some ginger and I am good to go.:)
Does it have a strong taste? I must get some
Kale is bitter, it is best to cut that taste with an apple.
Thanks for stopping by. Great blog!
All the best,
Steve
