Kale Green Smoothie
Why is there a picture of my sweet girl drinking this smoothie? Because if my little girl can drink it, you can too! There are plenty of green smoothies recipes on the internet, but most of them use spinach. I prefer kale. After reading Anti Cancer A New Way of Life by David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PhD, I promised myself that I would incorporate kale into my families meals. According to the research done in this book, kale inhibits the cell growth in certain cancers. Yes, you read that correctly. It inhibits cancer cell growth.

Kale was in the top 10 foods for colon, brain, lung, prostate and breast cancer. And keep in mind you are eating it raw so no nutrients are being “cooked” away.
1 small bunch of kale (I used about 1/3 of the pre bundled shown)
1 banana
1 small apple (can substitute 1 cup red grapes)
1/2 to 1 cup greek plain yogurt
1 scoop whey protein (any flavor will do)
1 cup ice
Trim thick ends of kale so it’s not bitter, blend all ingredients in Vitamix or blender. Enjoy.
