I Don't Always Drink Kale...

...But when I do, I add fruit.

Why?

Just look.

Are you thinking "pond scum in a wine glass"?

I am.

Even with the pear garnish.

But, really, it tastes ok.

 

 

 

The thought of drinking a salad is not all that appealing to me. But the health benefits are marvelous.

To cut the taste of the greens, most people add fruit. Today I added a fresh picked pear from the orchard to a green mix when I needed to take a break from sorting Red Bartlett pears and Wealthy apples for today's NorthSide Farmers Market. 

I also added flax seeds, almonds, and hemp protein powder.

 

Making a green drink is more of a process than following a recipe. For sweeter drinks, add more things like half a banana, half an orange, pineapple, melon, peach, or a combo of fruit. whatever you like. And a dash of cinnamon doesn't hurt, either!
Just be sure to add some greens for that extra vitamin boost!
