General Tips

Kale may not be the first thing you think of when making a smoothie, but it is definitely one of the best. Dark leafy greens like kale are packed with calcium in a form that is easy for the body to absorb. Kale is also one of the few plants that contain iron, with the additional benefit of vitamin C, increasing the uptake of the iron. Although Kale is strong in taste, the 3 fruits in this combination is a unique flavour and the Thermomix blends the ingredients to a smooth, creamy consistency. You can change the fruits to taste, lemon gives a sharper finish
