HEALTH BENEFITS OF KALE
What is there not to like about kale? It is high in calcium and chlorophyll, which prevents osteoporosis and bone loss.

Kale also promotes healthy eyes and vision as well as weight loss!

Kale is especially great in green smoothie recipes because it breaks down the fiber for easy digestion and detox.

    1. Hi David! Good question. We looked back at the nutritional facts calculator that we use, and the fats didn’t even add up properly! It’s safe to assume the fats are coming from the almond butter though, so just look at your almond butter and check out how much fat is in a tablespoon, and that will tell you how much fat will be in your specific smoothie. Thanks for asking! We have removed the detailed fat breakdown because it was inaccurate. Happy Blending!

  1. 5 stars
    I love the combination of pear, kale, and banana! This smoothie is a powerhouse of nutritional benefits. Would you also suggest adding a plant-based protein powder for more protein or is that “over-kill”? Thanks for sharing!

    1. Not at all Aarika! We usually only use half a scoop of protein anyway so as not to overpower all the delicious natural flavor! Let us know what you think if you try it. 🙂 HAPPY BLENDING!
