I'm not 100% sure on why this new veg is different to lettuce and given that A and I'm sure a lot of you aren't really sure what the dealio is with this new 'magical' green stuff- so here's the DL:

•it has a super high antioxidant content
•impressive anti-cancer agent
•increases urinary health
•has a truckload of vitamins
So what if you can't find kale in your local woolies? Well spinach is reported to be just as good so get some of those leafy greens into you!!!

Now we know just how fab kale is for us- how did ours taste?
A having his first sip of the smoothie....
The verdict: Absolutely revolting. Although, after we strained most of the klumps of kale out that were still there it wasn't so bad I suppose...
So unless any of you wonderful people out there can find us a way in which Kale is absolutely de-lish, I think it can stay out of my kitchen. Do you have a fav kale recipe?
Have a kale-y day!
