Kale and Citrus = The Morning Tart

[Karina]

I love getting a big bag of small red grapefruits, a bag of organic lemons, and going nuts with whatever I can make from them.  I'm kind of a citrus junkie. 

Of course, any citrus lover has to be careful about acid damage to the teeth.  The best way to do this is by drinking through a straw.  I'm currently grooving on the reusable glass straws I got from glassdharma.com.

You can cut up the citrus first to de-seed it if you prefer; that's generally what I do.

The Morning Tart:

1 peeled lemon
+ 1 or 2 peeled small grapefruit
+ 1/2 or 1 whole green apple quartered with seeds removed
+ a few leaves of romaine
and as much kale as you can handle! (I like dinosaur/lacinato kale)

Yummmm....

I love grapefruit and this sounds wonderful. I bet red russian kale would be nice too.

This sounds awesome!

For some reason, unknown to me, I have stayed away from citrus in my green smoothie... until recently when I was given one with orange in it. I loved the flavor that the orange imparts. I bet it's fantastic with grapefruit as well. I'll be trying this soon.

Thank you for sharing!

i think i'm gonna try this w/ limes & oranges instead, because that's what i have, but i'm really new to this and don't wanna waste good produce, so pls advise: would you?? or should i maybe not?

I've made something very similar with oranges and it was delicious! I'll try grapefruit next time.
