Every week lately in my CSA basket I have been getting kale. Kale. Kale. Kale. I AM SO SICK OF KALE. I couldn’t stand the thought of cramming more leaves down my throat, so I decided it was time to turn that kale into a non leaf meal. So I came up with this kale recipe that would mask the leafy origins of kale and turn it into a kid friendly mash.

Twas time to put the Vitamix (The King of Blenders) to work as well as the poor food processor, who never gets a break.

High level – blend up the kale with cauliflower and coconut cream and you got yourself a vibrant green, super tasty kale recipe. NO LEAF EATING REQUIRED.

Vibrant, lovely, tasty and NO DARN LEAVES.
