If you're brave enough to eat kale, you're probably a very devoted health foodie :) If not, I hope you try it anyway and end up enjoying it!
The Recipe: Kale and Apple Smoothie
- 1 leaf Kale, shredded
- 1 Apple, chopped
- Water
The Process:
- Shred your Kale leaves
- Peel and chop your apple, tossing the core
- Put both into a Magic Bullet cup
- Add a small amount of water (you will need to add more as you blend, depending on how thick you want it)
- Blend with the Magic Bullet until it is at desired thickness.
- Bottoms up!
The Calories:
Apple: 77 calories
Kale: 17 calories

TOTAL: 94 calories
This is less than most protein shakes or bars, so you can have it as a small snack for that little extra cleansing boost.
What went right:
The smoothie tastes like sour apple, which is a flavor I quite enjoy!
What went wrong:
I think I was a little impatient once I smelled it, but the consistency was still a bit leafy. I will have to blend more next time or add more water. If that doesn't work, I will try steaming the Kale first.
What would I do next time:
Add more water and possibly steam the Kale first. I don't think this smoothie needs anything otherwise...the flavor is very strong and to add anything else would only muddle it.
Will I do this in college:
Depends how the next batch turns out, but probably!
Overall it's a yummy smoothie if I can get it smooth enough...I might need to add milk or yogurt, but that would also make it less healthy and more heavy so I doubt I'd do it. Check back to see if the second batch turns out!
