How much do you recommend juicing kale per week? Is it safe to drink everyday?
- Dr. Josh Axe on February 16th, 2015 - 11:59am
  
  I think it’s good to give the body variety! Vegetables have different benefits and the more variety you give your body, the more diverse nutrients you are consuming

About how many calories is this drink?

  Here’s why I don’t recommend calorie counting:

    As a type 1 diabetic with an insulin pump, I need to know carb counts to dose my insulin. It would be helpful to have some info. …

So, I made this today, tasted great, but couldn’t tolerate the kale bits in the drink. I have a Ninja and ran the blender for a good 60sec. or more. Any suggestions to smooth out the kale better?
Thanks

  Maybe try blending just the kale and liquid in the blender first before adding in the fruit and ice. Hopefully doing it first will help it to fully smooth out first and then you can add the remaining ingredients.

I’ve heard mixed ideas about kale, especially eating it raw. Obviously you think it’s good for us, but what is your take on those cautioning us.

  Listen to your body and make sure that it is organic

Is this a meal or for a snack?
- Dr. Josh Axe on October 6th, 2014 - 3:53pm
  
  You can use it for either! If using it as a meal, I would add protein to it.
