This is for good reason though; kale is packed with vitamins and nutrients your body loves <3 (*throwback to the days without emojis*)  Eating kale doesn't have to feel like you're eating straight from a shrub, there's tons of ways to prepare it! You could eat it as a salad base, sauteed, or inside of your morning smoothie. For some motivation, here are some benefits of this powerhouse food.
