We aren't too fancy around here but we're hungry often, so its about time I learn how to cook. I figure if I don't learn now, we're gonna have to eat cardboard forever. Most of these aren't my own ideas but I can follow a recipe and take a crappy iPhone picture of it. The fire alarm goes off at least once a week but hopefully somewhere along the way I'll figure out how to make something of my own. Maybe.

Antioxidant Cheers!
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
1 Cup Kale
1/2 Cup Pomegranate Juice
2 Cups of Frozen Blackberries, Blueberries, Strawberries
1/2 Cup Vanilla Greek Yogurt
Blend your kale and juice first. Add the rest.
Did you know, that Kale has more iron per calorie than beef AND its high in fiber. Its true!
In fact, dark leafy greens have more nutrients per calorie than most foods and are loaded with antioxidants, vitamins (like K, C, E, and B), minerals (think iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium), and phytonutrients (like beta-carotene, lutein). I mean, that alone should be enough for you to go for it.
And here's a tip.. it blends out green but then when you add the berries, it turns purple - and that means, no turned up noses at the table because they are too busy slurping up this purple goodness.
