As a quick recap- Kale is one of the healthiest vegetables you can find. It is high in calcium and contains beta-carotene. It's totally powerpacked with vitamin B6, vitamin C, calcium, potassium, magnesium and chlorophyll. However, Kale is REALLY REALLY hard to find in Singapore and SUPER expensive. They also don't last long enough. Besides, who in the world has any time in the morning to pluck kale leaves?
Enter Maroyaka Kale powder to help all you busy people who don't get enough nutrition and eat outside all day, errrrr day. Cheap vegetables not coated in salt and oil are virtually impossible to find in Singapore and now there is a fuss free way to drink all the veggie nutrients you need for the day! I'm also thinking this is a great way to sneak in nutrition for people who hate veggies. I'm planning to use them in baked goods soon
Anyway, say hi to Squishy-san! He is my penguin and he.. doesn't look too thrilled about the Maroyaka Kale. Meh, he says. Where is the fish? Want FISH, not veggies!
And this is Enoki-san. He is absolutely thrilled to find out what is inside the box!
*sniff*
I SMELL VEGGIES! *excited!*
The Kale powder is really the most convenient thing ever. They are packed individually into 30 sachets and you can bring them anywhere and pour it over your yoghurt, ice cream (instant nutritious ice cream, hey?) or even drink it straight with cold water.
*nomnomnom*
Here are the ingredients for a very basic nutritious green smoothie. 2 tablespoons chia seeds, 1 banana, 1 handful of spinach, 1 sachet of Maroyaka Kale Powder. LITERALLY a 2 minute breakfast. You can't get any faster or more nutritious than this!
Put everything into a blender cup. I highly recommend the shimono blender.
(check my FAQs on purchase information)
*excited!*
*looks so yummy and green and deliciousssssss*
*sniff* Can't wait to blend it all up! :)
And there it is blending away! Blend on high for 45 sec or till smooth.
"did you put any fish inside?"
And there you have it! My breakfast! One banana-chia-kale green smoothie topped with silvered almonds served with papaya wedges and a juicy sweet plum!
I guarantee you, with a breakfast like that, the world looks brighter, the people seem nicer and all around there are rainbows and unicorns. You will also have SO much energy and feel so happy and bright! It's amazing what nutrition can do for you! Don't start your day with blah food! Start it with the rainbow nature has to offer!
Stamp of approval from my herbivore friend! Haha. If you are like Squishy- san and carnivorous by nature... well, JUST TRY OKAY. Better to drink your vegetables in a gulp if you hate them than tortuously chew through them at every meal! Haha. As always, my honest, honest opinion is that no boxed product can EVER beat the real thing. You should never, ever based your health and nutritional needs on a single packaged item. However, this is the best/ most convenient/ fastest way I can think of for busy people who eat out often and don't have time to think about nutrition to get some form of nutrition! At least get in some of your nutrition in the morning and you don't have to worry much about it the rest of the day!With mother's day round the corner, I would think this would make a lovely gift as well for your mothers! Don't buy her yet another massage chair or a box of chocolate! Give her the gift of health! My mom hates the real kale but this, blended with frozen bananas and peanut butter, she loves! It's great for people not yet ready to graduate to the real thing (your vegetable-hating children!) or just beginning to eat healthy!
Maroyaka Kale now retails at selected Guardian Pharmacy outlets. Go get superfood-ed up today! :)
Okay, so I couldn't resist ending off this post with a picture of my rabbit dust mitten! $2 from daiso! I love it! Haha. BYE EVERYONE! Remember that it doesn't matter how big or small your body is. It is just a tool for you to use and love those around you so treat it well and get to loving all those around you already!
With much love, grace with a green smoothie mustache ;)
