    interesting. I didn’t know things like spinach and kale could be frozen. Do you use it frozen or thaw it first before putting in the blender?

  • Destyn

    Well omega 3 is good for your body and healthy for your body

  • Gail

    Do you have to do anything to your kale before you throw it in the freezer? Or just rinse and bag it?

    I generally add a little apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to prevent the oxilates in spinach and kale from contributing towards kidney stones…..it doesn’t really impact the flavor…….always delicious!!!

    You can use the spinach and kale when they’re frozen. Here’s a great post about how to freeze and store green smoothies: http://www.blendtec.com/blo…
