Hi I’m Jane from http://www.BlenditandMendit.com where I show you how I turn my VitaMix blender into my #1 anti-aging tool. Welcome.
Good Timing
Today I am making Kale Ice Cream. Yes, that’s right. Remember? I have kale on the brain this week.
Yesterday I made the Cream Of Kale Soup, which was so delicious piping hot and then several hours later I had a ‘kale gazpacho’ – those flavors must have cured because cold and chilled that soup was even better. So, I still have some kale and I received a question, maybe a week ago, from subxero1961, who asked, “Do you have a recipe for kale ice cream?” I do now.
I didn’t then. But since I’ve got kale on the brain, and I’m craving it, today that’s what I’m going to make. It’s another one of my very simple recipes with a mere 4 ingredients. All you need to get started are 2 frozen bananas. You know by now I keep a stash of them in the freezer, so they’re always on hand.
2 big, beautiful laves of curly kale. You really could use any variety of kale you want; the dinosaur/Lacinato kale or the Russian, red kale. Today I’m using simple, basic, easy to find green leaf curly kale. Strip the kale off of the stems, then throw them into the VitaMix right on top of your two frozen bananas.
Whole Food Ice Cream
4 Medjool dates, which I pitted and froze. Just throw them in the freezer the night before along with the bananas. And then, I used 4 ice cubes made from my coconut water. I forgot to tell you, when you wash the kale, make sure you thoroughly dry them. I do not want any extra water in this recipe.
This is the kind of whole food ice cream that you can really enjoy and feel terrific when you eat it. Kale is jam packed with the phytonutrients, antioxidants and anti-cancer compounds that we are all searching for. Very delicious. What a great way to get fresh kale. Most people look at this and they see a tough, bitter leaf. Yes, it can be that way. You can also put it into, not only your ice creams, your green smoothies, you can massage it and make wonderful raw salads with it.
All Hail Kale
And like yesterday, you can make a delicious cream of kale soup. All hail kale. This is delicious and I love how the little bits of dates are nice and chewy in there. You will get two helpings from this recipe. I did 2 scoops in this bowl and I put the rest into a little Tupperware container and popped it in the freezer so it’ll be there later when you want it. Also, if you leave it until tomorrow, there’s nothing like getting up in the morning and knowing you have the kale ice cream or some spinach ice cream, that you can have for breakfast.
Mmm… and it does not sap your energy or require work on your part to digest it… just keep on cruising through the day. Very good. So, subxero1961, thank you for writing in and asking for a kale ice cream recipe. I had not thought of that before, and you coincided with my kale on the brain week so this worked out beautifully. I’m enjoying it and I hope you will make it and come back, leave comments, and let me know how it came out and what you thought of it. And anyone else who makes it, I would like to hear from you, too

[..YouTube..] @potterylady1 It is not like banana ice cream. The kale is strong enough to where the banana flavor is there but not dominant. You can taste the kale, too, but not overwhelming.
