Our last Door-to-Door Organics order came with a bunch of kale. B and I had no clue what to do with kale. I wanted to make sure it didn’t go bad before we used it, so I decided to make smoothies with it. Green monsters to be exact. I have made them before, but with spinach, not kale. And they were pretty good (although I could taste the spinach). L was super excited to help and picked all the other ingredients we used (strawberries, peaches, blueberries and blueberry yogurt). Although it looked so pretty all layered together like that, it wasn’t the most amazing smoothie ever. And it certainly wasn’t green. Although, since the kale I used wasn’t even green how could I expect the smoothie to be? Never mind that. L declared it to be yucky, but drank it anyways. I drank it too. 1/2 because it was cold and it was 95 degrees out and 1/2 because I wanted L to drink his, so I knew I had to drink mine too. Mine time I will throw the kale in the food processor first so that’s chopped nice and fine before I put it in the blender.
I have since read that kale can be added to stir fry, which seems like another good idea for us. I know for sure L won’t be down with eating it alone.
Have you ever made a green monster? What do you put in the mix? And what in the world do you do with kale?
