Berry Kale Smoothie Recipe

February 6, 2014

I have to be honest never in my 29 years of life did I ever think that I would be writing a post with the the title ‘Berry Kale Smoothie’ & getting ready to tell y’all how delicious it was to boot. It just isn’t something I would willingly ever want to eat, the kale that is.  I hate all things green spinach, broccoli, green beans if it’s green I’m not eating it. The thought of broccoli gives me hives, it’s so crazy that in high school I had a friend who would get the Wednesday special ‘Cream Of Broccoli’ soup and I would pull a total “Mean Girls” moment and yell “You can’t sit with us!!” because the smell made me gag. So when it came to kale in any form even a berry kale smoothie, I was having no parts of it. However, Pinterest is the land of oz and oh so addicting and it seems like every blogger in the history of ever is on this kale kick so I figured what the heck, I’m trying to lose weight and eat healthier so why not try it out. I’ve done the healthy dinner options, the salads and ALL the exercises so it was time to branch out & find more!I figured I could hide it in a smoothie with all kinds of fruit and if it ended up being disgusting I would just feed it to my garbage disposal of a husband and be on my way. Going into it I was CERTAIN (yes, I’m way over dramatic) that I would not live to tell this tale. The kale would almost certainly kill me upon first taste, right? WRONG!

Let me just tell you, it’s absolute amazing! I got to use all of this fresh fruit and greek yogurt and some soy milk and I was pleasantly surprised that it was a bright pink and not some nasty green or gray color because if had ended up that way I can promise you I would not have even tasted it. I would have thrown it away and pretended it never happened. I had taken to Twitter before making it and gotten some tips to either add peanut butter or vanilla extract to mask the taste, I went with the vanilla extract because as most of you know I’m doing Weight Watchers so I wanted to keep this baby low in points but high in nutrients and energy as well!

    Hi, I just stumbled upon your recipe for the Berry Kale Smoothie on Pinterest and was wondering if you think we could substitute almond milk for the soy milk. It sure looks delicious, and we would love to try it, but cannot have soy.

    Hi Tania! I would absolutely think that you could sub the soy for almond milk, my husband actually uses whole milk instead of soy so I think it would be fine! I know some people have even used water and no milk at all. 🙂

    Hey this is a great idea to sneak in my greens to my diet. I didn’t think the color of the kale wouldn’t be so obvious. Thanks!

“The black and white photo challenge started as “The black and white photo challenge started as a way for women to raise their voice. To stand in solidarity with the women we have lost.

In 2019, Turkey had nearly 500 RECORDED femicides. ⁣

The Global Burden of Armed Violence 2014 database shows that between 2007 and 2012, on average, 60,000 women were killed violently around the world. ⁣

A total of 87,000 women were intentionally killed in 2017. More than half of them (58 per cent) ̶ 50,000 ̶ were killed by intimate partners or family members, meaning that 137 women across the world are killed by a member of their own family every day. More than a third (30,000) of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by their current or former intimate partner ̶ someone they would normally expect to trust.⁣

Speak to yourself with grace. If you find yourself experiencing negative self talk ask yourself if you’d say it to someone else. If the answer is no.. full 🛑 ⁣

1️⃣ My hair has been over 50 different colors. Some of them all at the same time. It’s naturally blonde though⠀⁣

4️⃣ I’m a double ♊️ which means I’m talkative, fiercely loyal and endlessly curious. Paired with being an enneagram 8 and it probably also means I’m a little bit psycho 🤣⠀⁣

🔟 Creating this community has been one of my favorite things about life. What will you find here?! Easy beauty tips and tutorials, attainable fashion, endless Amazon finds, but also the UNCOMFORTABLE stuff: pap smears, depression, anxiety, the effects my husbands addiction had on our marriage, eating disorders, struggles with fertility, body acceptance, and being comfortable in your own skin. I try to keep it as real as humanly possible. Being so vulnerable all of the time isn’t the easiest thing but if it helps just one person feel less alone, I’m good! ⠀⁣

Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thin Loving an addict is one of if not the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life. ⁣
⁣
We’re about two hit two years since Jim entered rehab and I’m forever proud of the changes he made and the man he has become⁣
⁣
For the person reading this who loves an addict. It’s changed you, I know. It made you a little harder to reach. It made getting out a bed a little rough. It’s isolated you from groups of friends. Your hearts a little more closed off then it once was. Your trust is a little bit broken. You’ve felt more alone then you ever have. You’ve felt judged. You’ve felt betrayed. You’ve felt at fault.⁣
⁣
Whether you’re past it or still in the trenches. I want you to know some things. ⁣
⁣
I need you to know that it’s not your fault. I need you to know that you could not have done anything differently. I need you to know that you can’t cure it. You didn’t cause it. And you can’t control it. ⁣
⁣
Most of all I need you to know that it gets better. I need you to know that it’s ok to feel happiness again. It’s ok to put yourself first. It’s ok to take care of your. ⁣
⁣
And you’re not alone. ⁣
⁣
I promise you that there’s a light on this side of the tunnel just waiting for you to walk through. And that light doesn’t mean it’s over, it’s just there to guide you. Because every day could be a battle. ⁣
⁣
I stayed for the battle. But that’s not the only way. If you need to leave that’s okay too. Either way. You have to get to that light. ⁣
⁣
Don’t be afraid to reach out for help. Go to a meeting yourself. Grab a book (Co-Dependent No More, was helpful for me) listen to a podcast. Get yourself a village. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF⁣
