Kale is a superfood that health experts swear by and if it isn’t in your diet already then it should be. It’s low in calories, contains zero fat and is high in fibre. Wondering how to cook it? Here are our favourite ways, including Victoria Beckham’s recipe…
Kale is a perfect ingredient for smoothies. How would we mix it? Blend a few leaves with cherries, strawberries, and a small dash of apple juice. Want to thicken your juice? Just add some Greek yoghurt.
Curly kale works a delicious and nutritious side dish for lots of meals but we especially love it with this mustard and tarragon chicken.
Sautee your kale with onion and garlic for extra flavour. Garlic is also full of health benefits, so by pairing the two you’re doubling up on goodness.
This fish dish is brimming with flavour, with a kick of chilli and a hint of ginger. Kale never tasted so good.
Kale crisps are one of Victoria Beckham’s favourite healthy snacks. How does she prepare them? Preheat the oven to a high temperature. Rinse the kale thoroughly in salted water and then drain it. Lay the leaves on a baking tray and season with salt and pepper. Pop the tray in the oven for around 15 to 20 minutes.
A great way to sneak in some greens into your family meals is with this mash-topped minced beef pie.
Kale makes a delicious addition to soup. This hearty Tuscan sausage and bean soup takes less than an hour to make and the kids will love it.
Mixing kale with crispy chorizo and potatoes is a very tasty combination.
