Good to know

Hemp protein brings a plant-based amino acid profile to your glass.

Swaps

Water → coconut water (coconut water noticeably softens the bitter taste of the kale and brings electrolytes).

Cooking tips

Kale leaves are tough. Your blender really needs enough wattage so it doesn't leave hard fibres behind.

Storage

Green smoothies with kale oxidise extremely quickly in the air. Always drink it straight after blending.
