This is a nutrient-rich leafy green, is loaded with iron, vitamins A and C, and is a great antioxidant. It supports immune function, and bone health, and provides a natural energy boost.
Kale – The Cruciferous King
Kale is one of the many nutritious cruciferous vegetables. Packed with vitamins K, A, and C, along with potent antioxidants, kale is amazing for heart health and is known to have anti-inflammatory properties. Kale smoothies, salads, or chips are just a few examples of healthy treats.

This delicious fruit lowers the risk of heart disease and heart attack risk. Avocados are great in salads, sandwiches, or in dips like guacamole.

- 1 cup almonds, roughly chopped
- 1 pound Tuscan kale, roughly chopped
- 3/4 pound Brussels sprouts, sliced
- 1 apple, sliced
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 1 garlic clove, grated
- 4 ounces soft goat cheese
- Salt and pepper
. I always wondered how so many of my patients could feel totally “fine” going days on end without eating a vegetable. I’m talking, not even a slice of tomato or lettuce on a sandwich. If I go a few days without some leafy greens or even just a tiny pop of color on my plate my body is FEELING it. I usually feel less energized, haven’t had a proper 
, and don’t feel as satisfied at meals. If I spend a few days eating out or I’m enjoying new foods on vacation my body will soon speak up, LOUDLY that it needs veggies. 
. What I’ve come to understand is that for so many people, when having daily veggies isn’t part of the routine, they don’t actually KNOW what it feels like to have that added boost of fiber and nutrients. Their body hasn’t yet learned to feel truly GREAT and crave vegetables more often. It’s not your fault, and nobody is a “bad” person for this, it’s just the habit you’ve gotten into! . We all know veggies are healthy, but until we start to include more of them, and in truly DELICIOUS ways, we won’t get that craving or understand our body’s signal to fill up on a plate of greens! . My body was DEFINITELY speaking up for veggies this week, so this fun fall kale salad has been on repeat for lunch. No chewy kale here 
, this salad is massaged with olive oil and tahini and loaded up with chickpeas, wild rice, toasted walnuts, and grapes (plus some feta that I added on later). . If you’re looking for ways to ADD veggies to your diet so you can feel your BEST, give this salad a try. It’s one simple way to start feeling amazing

- Meanwhile, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, honey, garlic, goat cheese, parmesan, lemon juice, vinegar, and salt and pepper until a smooth, creamy dressing is formed.
- Arrange Brussels sprouts and apples on a sheet pan and drizzle with remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper. Bake for 20 minutes or until Brussels sprouts are crispy and apples are tender and caramelized.
- Combine kale, almonds, Brussels sprouts, and apples into a large bowl and toss it with the vinaigrette.
This salad can be served immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour to allow the kale to soften and marinate in the dressing.
This recipe is full of fall flavor and texture

]]>Strawberries
Strawberries might be your favorite fruit, but they sure are high in pesticides. According to EWG, one-third of all the strawberries they examined showed traces of ten different pesticides. This is a scary number, so make sure you got the right strawberries when shopping.
Potatoes
Who would’ve thought that potatoes are so high in pesticides? Research shows that potatoes contain more pesticides than any other crop.

FoodNectarines
Just like strawberries, nectarines are delicious. But, unfortunately, they can be loaded with pesticides. The only difference is that when tested they showed a significantly lower number of different types of pesticides. While strawberries go up to ten, nectarines show two.
Kale
Kale also contains a worrying number of 10 pesticides when examined. This is one of the only green vegetable that is not as healthy as we think. Celery, lettuce and collard are also treated with many chemicals that are not good for consumers.
perfecto!!

Yay or nay? Ingredients Leafy Greens
As a result I’m craving those cooling, refreshing breakfasts and snacks 
It contains banana, pineapple AND mango which makes it really sweet, fruity and exotic tasting 
I simply blended 2 tsp into this smoothie with 1 whole frozen banana, 40g mango, 30g pineapple, 1 tbsp chia seeds (Optional), 180ml coconut water and a large handful of spinach 
Perfect summer smoothie 
#SmoothieShowoff ADLeafy greens are one of the best sources of calcium and iron, two important nutrients to keep your body strong. To make sure you eat enough of these greens, make sure you put in things like chard, kale, and spinach. Since they are all neutral flavors, you can put them in any type of smoothie without altering the taste.

Peach smoothie: 7 ounces frozen peaches 1-1/2 cups coconut milk 3/4 teaspoons vanilla extract . Do it: . (1)Make the Beet Smoothie: Add bananas, beets, ice, coconut milk, honey and mint to high-powered blender and blend until smooth. Taste smoothie for sweetness and add more honey to taste, if desired.

Celery
Чоловік досі сміється і каже, що я п'ю салати
а мені смакує, навіть зі шпинатом і селерою
Although this is not something you would ever think to put in a smoothie, if you make a smoothie that is on the sweeter side, like with strawberries or mango, you really will not be able to taste it at all.
