Since I have Crohn’s, I can’t eat any leafy greens so I rarely pick them up at my local farmer’s market. But these bunches of kale and spinach were too beautiful to pass up! I had seen this recipe for green smoothie cubes and decided to try it. The result is a “smoothie starter” or “smoothie base” made out of kale and spinach that allows you to use greens anytime you want to make a smoothie, whether or not you have these veggies fresh on hand, without losing any nutritional value! All you need is a bunch of kale, a bunch of spinach, and a few cups of water.
