Dino Kale & Blueberries Smoothie

I only tasted Dino kale for the first time this year, in California, although I had kind of a “crush” on this adorable plant the second I saw a photo of it in one of the many seed nursery magazines coming to my old place.

From my past experience with the regular curled leaves version, growing kale is a lot of fun because it is easy to take care of and it will grow back years after years!   Living in colder climate? that’s all right, Kale love chilly nights and some of them will even be fully happy with a little bit of snow.  If you give it a big enough pot, you can easily grow it on your balcony, in the middle of the city.  It will add joy to your landscape and feed you deliciousness for a really big part of the year.

Dino kale, when cooked, will remain sort of crunchy and can be easily replace any other types of kale/lettuce/spinach in your favourite dishes.  Today, we’re featuring this incredible green in a morning smoothie to start your day the right way!

Bon matin!  *^_^*

The taste of Dino kale (also known as Lacianto/Tuscan kale) is sweeter but also a lot deeper and more earthly than the regular curled leaves version. If you already enjoy the taste of regular kale, you might find this type to be even better than the other ones you tried. For the one who eat kale as a necessity, try add more mango in this recipe and it will neutralize the taste a little bit more.
