As we age (hey no matter what our age)Â we can all try to get a bit more
nutrition into our diet. It gets harder as we are so busy day in and day
out, but with the Vita Mix and a little planning eating well does not
have to be a chore.One Smoothie that can help with healthy aging and more
energy is the Kale and Pear Green smoothie. Now I am sure that Kale is
not really your first choice when thinking of making a cool smoothie- but
it is defiantly one of the best choices you can make.Dark leafy greens
like Kale are loaded with calcium- and calcium from plants is so much
easier for your body to use than the calcium found in dairy products.
Kale also contains iron and vitamin C so all together, Kale is a
nutritional super power.Now to be truthful, Kale is a bit of a tough
plant. The stalks are hard to chew and to be totally honest a little too
strong in taste for my liking. That is when you eat raw Kale by itself.
When you add a few leafs of Kale to a fruity Pear/grape/orange/banana
smoothie, you will be pleasantly surprised to hear that all you can taste
is the fruits. I was also pleasantly surprised at how much energy I had
after drinking this bright green drink. I was trying this smoothie for
the health and nutrition benefits of the kale and the fresh fruits. SoÂ
was happy to discover the energy that was in this drink as well. (No
coffee for me that afternoon!)Have you tried a Green Smoothie for health
and energy yet? They are easy to make, taste great when you make them in
the Vita-Mix (no more chalky, lumpy drinks like when you try and mix up a
power) and are created from items found in your normal grocery store.
