Before taking the plunge into the world of kale I would see the bag of kale in the grocery store, look at it, cringe and walk away. I saw people start making kale smoothies and I thought it would taste like dirt but it didn't! It takes on a tasteless flavor so when combined with fruits like mango, pineapple, and apples it takes on a yummy smoothie taste!
The benefits of adding kale to your diet are fantastic. Incorporating kale into your daily diet can help protect against cancer and lower cholesterol. Kale is known to be one of the healthiest vegetables on the planet. And it's available in your local food store for under 4 dollars. Who knew? Kale provides vitamin A, B6, C & K along with calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron and manganese.
