The Farm has plenty of Kale left for harvest. This brassica, a notable super-food offers the best nutritional value when eaten (or sipped) raw. For this drink, almost a juice, use frozen seedless grapes. Throw into the blender a 1-2 handfuls of frozen grapes, 1-2 kale leaves cut into 1 inch pieces, a drizzle of honey, maybe some mint, a little lime, or a kiwi, Optional, 1/2 apple, Carrots and a slice of ginger work well. Blend until you don't see any more bits of kale. Add water or apple juice to keep things moving, about 1/2 cup. Essentially the frozen grapes, kale and water are the fundamentals of this drink. The Kale will be bitter and waxy (or what M calls, leafy rubber or chewing gum) without the other sweeter ingredients. Enjoy!
