A green smoothie is a meal in itself and can be as nourishing as you like. Raw kale can be very abrasive on the digestive tract, causing bloating and discomfort. It’s best to steam or blanch kale leaves for a smoothie. Refresh with cool water and pure with ice. For sensitive tummies, use lettuce or parsley instead of kale.
