Kale – One of the Superfoods

Sometimes if I don’t like something, I can trick myself into tolerating it if I know it’s great for me. Kale is one of those foods. I don’t hate kale, but it’s not something I dream of and try to summon into an empty fridge.

Mind trickery is definitely a big part of adding kale to my diet. Mike is the same way. He’ll ask me every time I put a food he doesn’t love on his plate — why is this good for me again?

A quick google search will give you all the benefits of kale. The nutrient that motivates me to eat kale is lutein.

We have a lot of eye issues in the family, so we love to load up on any vitamins and minerals that help eye health. The dark, leafy green also packs quite a punch of protein and fiber per serving.
