Hey, Alex

I have an enormous bunch of each right now, rapidly
disappearing. I enjoy using the collards as wrappers
for wraps:
Fill it with avocado or young coconut meat,
fresh lime or lemon juice
Add mango or papaya slices, a little cumin
or slivers of red or yellow pepper, sprouts, etc.
or untoasted nori sheets as an inner wrapper

or just wrap a leaf around a ripe banana

For kale or collard salad:
Finely chop kale or collard greens
marinate in dressing of
1/8 cup of tahini thinned with a spoons of lemon juice
a bit of minced garlic (optional -- I don't eat this anymore
but it's perfect in this)
freshly ground coriander or cumin (also optional)
sesame seeds

or you could just chop the greens and massage them with
some raw coconut oil.


Glad you're having them in smoothies. As far as I've found, these
greens are wonderful. My favorite is the dinosaur kale (the darker,
less curly-leafed kind)

ENjoy

I read somewhere to put the kale in the freezer...then crumble it before putting it into the blender for an easy smoothie...combined with banana, strawberries, or whatever.

I put a lot of my fruit and veges for smoothies in the freezer too. I hate it when stuff goes bad before you can use it

Kale salad: rip up into small bites. Squeeze lemon juice on it massage untill kale starts to wilt. then mash some avocado in with it is its like a creamy paste. little salt, drop of olive oil opptional. really really good
