Nutritious And Simple Kale Detox Smoothie [Recipe]

Try Out This Simple Yet Nutritious Kale Detox Smoothie!

There are many reasons why you should incorporate this simple kale detox smoothie into your detox program.

Not only is kale packed with nutrients, vitamins and minerals, it is also very low in calories. In fact, it is often referred to as the new spinach!

In my opinion, kale is one of the best ingredients you can include in your healthy smoothies.

Not only is kale great as an ingredient in detox smoothies, it is also a great ingredient for weight loss smoothies.

Unfortunately, kale can at times taste a bit bitter. So, in this recipe I have added 1/2 apple. If possible, you should use a sweet eating apple.

The Health Benefits Of A Simple Kale Detox Smoothie

As you can probably imagine, this smoothie is packed with nutrients. In fact, kale is an excellent source of vitamin K which is not typically found in dietary supplements.

The fiber found in both the kale and apple are good for your colon health. Coconut water is not only a delicious source of hydration, it is also fairly low in calories and carbs.

Notes

• I recommend that you use baby kale if you can get hold of it. In my opinion, the baby kale gives the smoothie a milder taste.
  
  Of course, you can substitute the baby kale for curly kale. However, if you do, make sure to remove the stalk in the middle. The stalk can be quite stringy.
  
  Most blenders will have problems with chopping the stalk up into small enough pieces. Consequently, your smoothie might not be as smooth as you would like it to be.
