I heart kale!

Today was a busy day with an audio/video interview for Brown Paper Tickets in Seattle.  This fabulous local company will soon be releasing a video series featuring different chefs and foodies in the Pacific Northwest.  Looking forward to seeing the final product.  During the interview I made this delicious kale juice for day #5 of February's juice challenge.

There's a reason why kale has been popping up everywhere this last year.  Whether it be in stores, rsetaurants or fine food magazines such as Bon Appetit and Savuer, kale was definitely a food trend and rightly so.

It is rich in vitamins A, C and K and has a good amount of calcium, iron, is an anti-inflammatory,  very hydrating, and wonderful for the skin. So drink up and enjoy this beauty cocktail!
