Two ways to freeze kale for your green smoothies.

Smoothie Question: My garden is overrun with Kale... I love the stuff, but have way too much and can't keep up.

Can I blend the leaves into a "sauce" and freeze the concoction for later use?

Thanks for your help and or suggestions!

Smoothie Answer:

Bob, excellent question! I am jealous of your overabundance of kale. That's great for you! By freezing your extra kale, you'll be saving a lot of money.

You have a couple of ways to freeze your kale for future use.

#1 - Blend your kale and freeze it in ice cube trays.

#2 - Another option is to directly freeze the kale so that it's ready to conveniently drop into the blender. I tend to do this more than the previous option.

Just clean the kale and place it in a freezer bag. Usually, I pack a serving size in each bag.

I hope that you are able to harvest all of your kale in time!

Happy Blending!
