What’s the catch with kale?

Although kale is a great super food, many people have a hard time getting over the bitter taste. Kale chips are one good option, but personally, I think the best way to get more kale is to juice it. Juicing is an easy way to get many of the health benefits of fruits and vegetables without any of the work.

So here’s a super healthy (and super tasty) kale juice recipe to keep you healthy and fit…
