Before you run
As a cruciferous vegetable, kale contains compounds called glucosinolates that have been shown to have anticancer properties. Adding fresh ginger and a kiwi – which provides more than a day’s worth of vitamin C – helps soften the natural bitterness of the leafy green.
Ingredients
1 cup unsweetened coconut water
½ cup low-fat plain yoghurt
1 kiwi fruit, peeled
1 large kale leaf, centre rib removed
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon honey
Pinch of salt
½ cup ice cubes
Instructions
In a blender, combine the coconut water, yoghurt, kiwi, kale, ginger, honey, salt, and ice. Blend until smooth. Serves 1.
