Kale Strawberry Orange Smoothie - Kale Week

Yum
Welcome to Kale Week here at Curry and Comfort.  I adore Kale.  It's a powerhouse super-food that is totally versatile.  Today I blended raw for this Kale Strawberry Orange Smoothie.  I plan on using Kale in many ways this week to show you just how easily you can include this nutrient dense marvel in your diet. 




Ingredients:
2 cups fresh orange juice
1 cup cleaned and hulled strawberries
1 1/2 cups chopped fresh kale (remove stem)
1/2 cup ice
2 tsp chia seeds (optional)


Directions:
 Place all ingredients in good quality blender starting with liquid and blend until smoothie. Enjoy.

    I feel guilty saying I have trouble getting kale down my throat. I wonder if it would be better/easier with strawberries? I want to like it!

    I still have not picked up any chia seeds to try. Your smoothie is motivating me to get thee to the health food store. So good!

    I grew up eating kale; it was one of my most favorite greens. I have never had it in a smoothie, but am willing to try it just because you've put your stamp of approval on it. :)

    Nice, you've been on a kale kick lately. :) What a beautiful green color! It's wonderful that you introduce and inspire us to eat more kale.

    I've never tried chia seeds before...what do they taste like. I like Kale...never tried a drink with it though. Looks and sounds delish!

    I also love kale! I knew we were friends for (many) a reason. :) I've always wanted to try it in a smoothie, and with strawberries, how can I say no?!

    This is my kind of smoothie! I always go for spinach but I should switch it up with kale now and then.
