Kale, it’s a true super food.
Nearly three grams of fiber and protein in
a serving.
Tons of vitamins and minerals.
Vitamin A, C, K, folate and more.
Super trendy whether curly or flat, the only
problem?
I don’t like it.
What?
Yes, I think kale is generally bad, but I’m
all about super foods and finding fun ways
to incorporate those into my diet even if
I don’t love them in their regular form.
Today I’ve got you three sneaky kale recipes.
First up, my kale soup, its super delicious
and you won’t even know there is any kale
in it.
In a large pot over medium heat, you’re
going to sauté your onions and sweet potatoes
and a little bit of olive oil, just until
those onions are translucent, just a few minutes.
Then you can add your kale, chick peas, minced
garlic, salt and pep, low sodium chicken broth
and almond milk.
Mix to combine.
Cover your pot and allow to simmer for about
15 minutes, after that you can remove the
cover to find your nicely wilted kale.
Now it’s time to grab your handy dandy immersion
blender.
Blend all of the ingredients together and
be sure to watch out for any splashes because
it is hot.
Also if you don’t have an immersion blender
you can always use a regular blender or a
food processor.
You’ll just have to do it in batches.
Also you can blend this as creamy as you want,
so I like my soup a little bit more chunky
so I just briefly blend.
Once blended you should have a nice thick
and tasty soup.

Okay, that is hot and savory, how about cold
and sweet.
Next up my super food anti-oxidant kale smoothie.
In your blender goes your cashew milk or milk
of choice.
I like cashew for creaminess.
Your kale and a quick tip, you can freeze
your greens.
This will help them keep a little bit longer
when you think they are on the way out and
they blend up really nicely when they are
frozen.
For creaminess, some frozen banana and frozen
avocado, if you don’t like banana you can
always sub extra avocado.
Color to disguise the kale, your frozen blue
berries or berries of choice.
And for sweetness, a little bit of maple syrup
or your sweetener of choice.
Blend it on up.
Now I know this is a dark smoothie, but that’s
just because it is packed with foods that
are rich in anti-oxidants.
Generally speaking, the darker in color your
foods are, the more nutritious, and I promise
it’s so delicious.
Pour and enjoy.
And finally let’s take a look at my kale
guacamole.
It is the perfect color to disguise that kale
while adding a brilliant texture twist to
the classic dip, thumbs up for guac.
In a large mixing bowl combine two ripened
and peeled avocados.
Use a fork or a masher to mash them on up.
Once mashed, add in some finely diced or chopped
kale and mix to combine.
Then add in your diced red onions, diced tomatoes,
diced and seeded jalapeno, if you want, cilantro,
minced garlic, lime juice and salt and pep.
Again mix to combine.
Chill in the fridge for a couple of hours
or if you can’t wait, go ahead and devour.
This is one of my favorite kale and guac recipes
of all time.
There you go kale disguised in three delicious
recipes.
Sweet and savory, hot and cold.
