My secret with kale is to add lots of sweet or sharp flavours to offset some of that grassy intensity.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've done a lot of kale as well as broccoli. I love it. Asparagus I couldn't stand before, but now it is part of my meals. All three of those are greens that I never used to eat. Now, a smoothie for me is nothing but fruits and veggies and vanilla Greek yogurt.
I love kale. Genuinely. I really am glad that I have a platform to express that. I think a good raw kale salad is always just a meaty mouth feel. I also really like kelp noodle pasta with a little kale on top.
I eat a lot of kale, and I drink about half a gallon to a gallon of water a day.
I love to create this green juice shake made from kale, spinach, cucumber and wheatgrass. The nutrients in the juice help me recover after a tough workout. The Kale Banana Smoothie at LYFE Kitchen is very similar to my recipe and is fantastic.
I believe in the magic of preparation. You can make just about any foods taste wonderful by adding herbs and spices. Experiment with garlic, cilantro, basil and other fresh herbs on vegetables to make them taste great.
I'm a huge kale fan.
I'm in love with 'pure' flavors, things that are natural and delicious, minimally fussed with, that showcase the season.
Balance is key in cooking - you want a little acid, a little sweet, a little savory - the flavors should be harmonious.
I like really sharp flavors, and I like contrasts. Something sweet and sour at the same time is a big win.
Eat kale sometimes, but skip it as a trend.
