I wanted to share a new Fall recipe from Kimberly Snyder, founder of Envision Beauty. This is a new take on her famous Green Smoothie recipe, and perfect for the changing of seasons. Let me know what you think!
Fall Green Smoothie Recipe
- 3-4 full leaves of dinosaur kale OR 5 smaller leaves of curly kale
- 3 stalks of celery
- 2 Bosc pears
- 1 banana
- 1 1/2 cups of cold filtered water
Strip the kale leaves (whichever type you are using) off of the stem, discard stems, and blend all the rest of the ingredients until smooth. Tastes best cold, so be sure to use cold water. If your blender is not very strong, and takes longer to blend up, thereby warming the smoothie, make the night before and keep in the fridge overnight. Keeps for a maximum of up to 3 days in the fridge. Makes 4 servings.
In season through the Fall, the extremely powerful dark leafy
green kale is the main feature of the Fall Green Smoothie.
Kale is one of the most mineral-rich, beautifying greens there is. It is abundant in calcium, lutein, iron, fiber and Vitamins A, K, and collagen-building Vitamin C. Kale has seven times the beta-carotene of broccoli and ten times more lutein. Full of phytochemicals, it also packs in Vitamin E, which rebuilds beautiful skin. Both Vitamins C and E are also found in abundance in The Solution.
As we switch from season to season our bodies can become more sensitive and it can be easier to get sick. The high content of Vitamin C in kale also helps with immunity, and kale’s naturally rich sulfur content helps boost the body’s detoxification enzymes and provides a great cleansing response in the body to wash the system of toxins.
Aim to drink the Fall Green Smoothie 3 times a week or more!
