Oh, Kale Yeah!
Oh man, I never thought in 1 million years that I would be writing about Kale. But here I am writing about Kale listening to Gary Vee and living my best life. As I sit on my floor and write this I cannot help but feel so grateful to have taken my health into my own hands and think outside the box and be creative in the kitchen. Because lets face most of the time we think plant-based eating and it’s like oh lettuce and tomatoes. But it is so much more than that. The colors, the flavors and the nutrients its just so much.
I know I know am I really gonna talk about Kale, yes I am! You see as much as I love turmeric, potions and powders and such “superfoods” for me I will always go back to a whole plant-based foods. Why- because it’s simple and you don’t have to worry about much. In my books Kale is a superfood read below to find out all it’s amazing benefits and a great recipe to try it out as well. They have the most nutrients in them. Kale is kinda the holy grail of greens it has a sweet and slightly bitter taste (which helps with digestion but massaging with some olive oil along with lemon gets rid of this quick!)
