Kale & Ginger Smoothie

Recipe Title: Kale & Ginger Smoothie (click here to go to my YouTube video of this recipe)

Recipe By: Miriam Borys
Ingredient suggestions by Devon Wolfe of Vernon, BC

Servings: 2 large smoothies

Ingredients:

2 cups almond milk or coconut milk

1 tsp. chia seeds

1 banana

1/2 cup frozen blueberries
1/4 cup frozen or fresh fruit of choice

1/2 apple (I use the old apples what have gone soft)

1/2 cup kale - washed first and leaves removed  from stem

1 tbsp. ginger - peeled & in a chunk or grated 

1/4 cup parsley - fresh

1 tsp. turmeric

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. flax seeds - ground

1 tsp. flax oil or omega 3 oil

Pour almond or coconut milk into a blender & add chia seeds to allow the chia seeds to soak for 5-10 minutes. (When you soak the seeds in the milk, they expand and become gelatinous, a property that is suppose to aid digestion and contributes to their low glycemic index)

 Add all remaining ingredients and blend until chunks are liquified.

Pour into 2 large glasses and enjoy.
