LOL I'm glad you find the blog appetizing. I actually ADORE kale! It would absolutely be a <em>perfect </em>addition to this smoothie/replacement for spinach. The only drawback with kale is that if you don't have a super powerful blender, it mayyyy not come out as smooth as it would with spinach. Kale is much heartier/thicker, so you might have a little bit of grittiness in your smoothie (which isn't so bad!). If you have a Nutribullet or Vitamix or a crazy good blender in general you should be fine though. And DON'T even get me started on MANGOS! OMG I love love love love them! I always have a bag of Trader Joe's frozen mango chunks in my freezer (because I'm not the lucky one living in Hawaii with the real thing ;)) PLUS they are so good for you! All that Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Glutamine, digestive enzymes, iron, and---did you know it clears your pores if you slice it thin and put it on your face for 10-15 minutes? It's tasty and good for you-- double whammy! Let me know how your kale smoothie turns out! --Ashley Hey Misha!

I haven't yet, though plan to this weekend (Jef and I started an herb garden and the kale is finally at a place that's ready to be eaten!). I lived with a girl for a bit who was also vegan and she SWORE by kale in her smoothies; apparently kale has a lot of great health benefits. I never tried it, but I was eager too! Just wondering if you'd tried it! I'm going to give a kale/mango smoothie a try this weekend myself! I LOVE mangos... nom nom nom. Ashley, your blog is making me hungry! :)
