The great thing about a kale salad is that it doesn't wilt under the dressing, so leftovers are no problem.Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13668827.post-84688184168949119182012-09-14T09:33:27.804-04:002012-09-14T09:33:27.804-04:00Wow...a fast response from a busy lady.

Adding an additional Tbs of flaxseeds would add another gram.<br /><br />Using kale (rather than spinach) would increase the protein to 7 grams total. Again, adding another Tbs of flaxseeds would add another gram, bringing the total to 8 grams. <br /><br />Grinding a handful of nuts in the blender with the smoothie would also increase the protein. There are also commercial protein powders that could be added to the smoothie.Sarah Beamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09046888690482366164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13668827.post-9109818768102826762012-09-14T08:47:56.992-04:002012-09-14T08:47:56.992-04:00Any idea how much protein is in this smoothie?

Trying to figure out how to get some protein in there. I can not do soy, and I am not opposed to dairy (actually love the stove), but am trying to cut back. Thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13668827.post-50669973163819478792012-09-10T12:12:11.486-04:002012-09-10T12:12:11.486-04:00I do like chia seeds, and they are highly nutritio...I do like chia seeds, and they are highly nutritious. However, they tend to make the smoothie gel up rather quickly, and I don't love that. For now, I am still experimenting to see how to make them work best in a smoothie. <br /><br />Chia seeds are lovely sprinkled on salads and stirred into rice or quinoa.Sarah Beamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09046888690482366164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13668827.post-83898899139439725032012-09-10T11:34:36.455-04:002012-09-10T11:34:36.455-04:00Sarah,

I just could not make flax work for me, though my horses benefit from it. I am in love with the Chia seed. I like to let it sit in sparkling blackberry juice (organic of course) and then drink or spoon them up. So thank you for turning your Mama on to them and thank her for blogging it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
