I’m still not over my excitement that Fall is here, which means I’m still on a major pumpkin kick. Since this book is all about veggies, I got to thinking how can I make a delicious pumpkiny drink that incorporates even more nutritious goodness. Kale!
Then I got playful with it and decided to make my veggie-packed drink actually look like a pumpkin. And so without further ado: The Pumpkin Kale Smoothie!
The base of the smoothie tastes like a pumpkin pie. Top it off with a bit of green smoothie goodness and you have yourself a little super delicious and healthy jack-o-lantern in a glass.
The Casual Veggie has a whole section on kale (which is jam packed with vitamins A & K, btw), and includes delicious recipes like a Citrus Kale Salad, a Kale Pesto, Summer Kale Rolls and my very own Sundried Tomato & Kale Omelet.
Check out the recipe and then be sure to hop around to all the other bloggers in the recipe hop for more veggie goodness! Oh, and then of course, snag your copy of The Casual Veggie!!
