Well friends, it's been awhile, but I'm back. I do have a garden planted again this summer! And for the first time, I've planted kale. Don't be surprised if a lot of the recipes I share in the near future feature kale!
Fresh garden kale makes this smoothie a favorite of mine. The mint is grown in my windowsill herb garden. A perfect blend of kale, pear, mint, and apple(sauce). A refreshing and healthy summer drink!
What you'll need:
4-5 kale leaves, torn
1 pear, sliced
1 sprig mint (5-8 leaves)
1/2 cup applesauce
1 cup cold water
Variation:
1 cup apple juice (instead of applesauce)
1 cup cold water
Toss all ingredients into your blender. I picked up my Osterizer blender at a thrift store for $2.00!
Best thrift store purchase ever. She's a beast!
Blend and enjoy! Yum!
