Kale is (second) the easiest thing I have ever grown and it is *prolific*. I have three of those bad boys in the veggie path at the moment and they seem immune to all the pests that usually attack my brassicas. And like you said, they look awesome! Like green crushed velvet fountain. I got the seeds from a local soil place. Give it a shot! (For those playing at home, the easiest thing to grow is silverbeet).

While I haven’t tried a kale smoothie (and probably won’t after reading your article), I can definitely recommend just lightly steaming it, with the thick stalks cut out, with a little fresh butter over it and sprinkled with fresh basil (pinch of salt if you *have* to). Kale and basil – killer!

Where did you get your kale from? I haven’t seen it around for a little while but I haven’t really been looking I guess, after my experience ;D

Frozen berries make everything about a smoothie better – yum!

I bought some spinach Tonight so I’m going to have a green smoothie Tomorrow morn – yay! xx

PS. It is a pretty interesting shape! My mind deciphers it as “Oh no, it’s hard to clean” though, instead of pretty hehe!

P.s. How pretty is kale? I love the shape of the leaves! It looks nice in salads and things I think.

I’ve never really tried mango in my smoothies before… I always brush over it when I’m buying frozen fruits, but you may just have inspired me to do try it out.

Thanks so much for stopping by, I’ve been aware of your blog and reading it on and off for a couple of years now so I feel a little bit humbled that you’ve left a comment on mine *dork*
