Kale, Bok Choy, and spinach are some of my favorite veggies! Maybe you could call me Popeye, but these super foods have shown multiple benefits and making sure to fit them into your daily routine is crucial to prime health!
Kale has so many amazing properties. It's very rich in Vit. K which is important for antioxidant activity, blood clotting, and bone health. Carotenoids and flavonoids are types of antioxidants that have many anti cancer properties, which this and many other dark green veggies have.
These phytonutrients have a great effect on the body, and if you swap in these foods and swap out some of your burgers, chicken (I love chicken but it does have some saturated fat) your cholesterol is sure to come down and your energy level is sure to increase!!
Try a smoothie!! Ok, I know it sounds gross but kale, banana, some protein powder, you have a great nutritious shake!! Adding an apple can give it some sweetness, coconut water can be a nice substitution for water or milk, play around!!! To start, try the green machine beverage. You won't be disappointed, and everyone who gave me an ugly look after pulling it out of the fridge, went out and bought it after one sip.
Here is a great recipe for a Kale and banana smoothie! Afraid to make it yourself? heck out New Morning Market in Woodbury, CT and they will whip one up for you!
This is right out of my fridge people!
Stir frys are a great way to incorporate the veggies! Ever make your own Kale chips? Email me for some more tips and recipe ideas!
