Eat your greens, right... We have been told this since we were young but that can be easier said than done when it comes to greens like kale. Kids especially can be difficult when it comes to leafy greens so we suggest that you start to hide those greens in recipes like this kale and walnut pesto!
We personally find kale to be very versatile and use it in salads, pesto, soups and stir fry as well as adding it to our smoothies in rotation with other greens.
To add as much nutrition to your overall health as possible, rotate your greens throughout the week.
