This kale apple smoothie (Short Girl Tall Order) makes a quick snack. England has many varieties of heritage apples, but all in danger of disappearing due to supermarket imports (most are sprayed with shellac – insects).
Check medication, before eating too much kale (due to vitamin K).
Keep apple chunks away from children & people with swallowing difficulties. Keep fruit pips/seeds, dried fruits, nutmeg & fresh dough away from pets. Read more on food safety for people & pets
Always ask guardians, before feeding apples to equines, as too many cause colic. If given permission, cut up first (feed from a flat palm).
Kale is quite bitter, and not the favourite vegetable for many. But it’s packed with calcium, cheap and easy to find.
It’s also one of the few vegetables that grows during England’s Hungry Gap (around April) when all the winter produce is harvested, and the ripe summer produce is yet to be ready. So hide this unsung hero in recipes!
