Kale and Banana Smoothie

I'm eating this right now! This is the second large batch I've made so to have in the fridge to eat bits of off and on. I just had Splarah and Dawson taste these latest exotic things I've made lately with the kale. They're here for the evening, sitting side-by-side at Dawson's desk - Splarah working on her computer doing homework (she's in nursing school) and Dawson's editing shots he took for some people's school photos. They love the kale chips and wanted me to leave the bowl. This so-called smoothie ... they could eat their spoonful, but didn't want anymore, so I'm finishing it.



I think I put more kale in it then called for - how do you measure ripped kale leaves, or basil leaves for pesto ... other than weighing it?!



KALE AND BANANA SMOOTHIE
1 banana

2 C chopped kale

1/2 C milk

1 tsp maple syrup

1 Tb flax seed



Puree in blender. They pour it over ice cubes and serve. Mine doesn't pour! I think I used 1 Tb maple syrup.



You could use any type of liquid other than the milk, like even water, and more of it. Adding any other fruit you have on hand plus the banana would make it even better.



Splarah and Dawson said it tastes ... nutritious!

I am so sorry to have to use word verification - I hate them myself. But I'm getting too many spam comments and this is supposed to eliminate them. Maybe this will just be needed for awhile . . .
