I don’t like to eat vegetables. ย My husband is usually kind enough to remind me to eat them a couple times a week because if he doesn’t, ย I will mind the month away without eating a single green. ย It’s pretty sad. ย However, I’m adult, or at least I’m supposed to act like one since I’m in my late 30s, ย and I was happy as a clam when I read in The Paleo Approachย ย that you can safely eat raw greens. ย I have been avoiding green smoothies like the plague because I was afraid of theย goitrogenic effect of cruciferous vegetables.
So, I went to the market and picked up some baby kale and whipped up this paleo blueberry kale smoothie. ย Ok, if you have not eaten a lot of greens a in while, start with spinach smoothies. ย I put way too much kale in my first batch and I felt like I was drinking a swamp. It was not fun. ย However, the Little drank his weight ย in it. ย The next time I made this I cut the kale in half and it was perfect. ย The blueberries and banana pretty much were ย the only thing I could taste so I was happy to up my veggie intake and have a nice drink with breakfast.

What is the gelatin for?
I make my smoothies with spinach – I just can’t get into kale yet…
1 cup each: orange juice
pineapple juice
plain greek yogurt
spinach
frozen berries – I use the bags of mixed berries
2 frozen bananas
Gelatin is seriously amazing for you! Here is a great post that shares why https://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/the-crucial-reason-you-need-more-gelatin-in-your-diet/
Tastes great! I substituted blackberries for blueberries. And this made one regular serving for me, not 2.
Yeah! I’m glad you enjoyed it Amber!
