I found myself craving a cool, refreshing smoothie the other day and happened to have the above already in my house (yay for not having to go to the store)! Just throw it all in a blender for a minute or so, until it gets past the nasty brown-looking stage to being green. My daughter stole at least half of it from me, so it’s kid-friendly, too! The flaxseed is a great healthy fat to incorporate into your diet when possible. Hope you enjoy Strawberry Kale Smoothies as much as we did!

Directions:

• 1 1/2 cups kale, stems removed
• 1 large banana
• 10 strawberries, tops removed
• 2 cups water
• Juice of ½ a lemon
• 1 TBS flaxseed
