Fit Friday: What’s The Hype With Kale + Juice Recipe
Kale is everywhere—in juices, smoothies, salads, and everyone is talking about. Are you curious about what Kale is and why it’s so good?
Kale is a dark leafy green vegetable; it is a similar vegetable to cabbage, with green or purple leaves. It can be eaten raw, steamed, sautéed, blanched, baked, and even added to a smoothie or juice!
Kale provides the body with fiber and chlorophyll, both of which support the body’s natural detoxification efforts. Fiber binds with toxins and other undesirables in your digestive tract and helps usher them out. Chlorophyll helps to remove heavy metals and other toxins from the body. In order to successfully detox you need to get the waste out.
Here are some easy ways to start incorporating kale into your diet:
- Add some to your salad! Just break the leaves off the stem, maybe massage the kale a bit, then eat with your other greens in your salad!
- Sautee it with some extra virgin olive oil as a great side! Add salt, pepper, maybe some garlic?
- Make Kale chips! Break the leaves off the stem, drizzle with olive oil, add some seasoning and bake approximately 10 minutes
- Blend a handful of it for a delicious, refreshing juice….see below for my recipe for Kale Lemonade!

Not all of us have the time or knowledge to consistently prepare the best options for our ourselves or family. So I take pride in setting good examples for my 4 year old son, since he wants to copy everything that mommy and daddy does, which includes what we eat.
