Kale - You Don't Know What You're Missing

Angora Ice has some great healthy options. An on-menu item is the Kale Fusion, but kale can be added to any smoothie of your choice. Notably, kale is one of the best things that you could consume for your health.

Typically, kale has a bit of a negative reputation. People think it might taste bitter or grassy, but it actually has a light, crisp and refreshing taste. The vegetable is a leafy green that comes in a few varieties. When mixed into a smoothie with other fruits and veggies, kale is typically masked by the other flavors.

Kale is low in calories and high in everything good for you. This includes calcium, vitamin A, vitamin C and an immense amount of vitamin K. It also contains antioxidants that help prevent cancer and promote eye health. Furthermore, kale is high in fiber and also helps to lower blood cholesterol levels and reduce heart disease.

One other fun fact about kale is that it is one of the few vegetables that thrives in the winter time. Get your taste buds used to the flavor now with an Angora smoothie so that come winter when the veggies aren't fresh, you can dig into some kale!
