Cale is hot. And not to put in your hotchpotch alongside a sausage and a dip of gravy, but in your breakfast shake. You might think: whaddafuck, but this is serious business. And by the way, you don’t even taste the green when you combine it with fruit.

Kale contains a lot of fibre, which is good for your digestive system. It also contains a lot of iron and of course vitamins.

Doutzen, Heidi Klum, Jessica Alba, and our very own Ellemieke Vermolen are all staunch supporters.

The perfect kickstart to your day is a green smoothie filled with vegetables and a bit of fruit in the morning. Convinced? Try this smoothie.

Guaranteed more energy and a killer body. After six months of drinking lots of green shakes and working out six times a week at the gym, of course. But this is a great beginning.

Green Magic

• A handful of kale (you can buy very handy bags with already washed kale. You don’t have to do anything else, just add it to your shake)
• Half a banana
• A handful of blueberries
• A dash of almond milk or coconut water

Enjoy!
