One of my favorite things that I have tried while trying to lose weight is kale. I ordered a kale salad at one of my favorite local restaurants and was hooked. If you have not tried kale before, give it a chance. I think you will be surprised.
Why eat kale?
- it helps lower cholesterol
- it lowers the risk of certain cancers
- it helps detoxify the body
- it has both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits
With all of those amazing benefits, why not give it a try? Here are a couple amazing kale recipes!

The ingredients in this salad are pretty close to the ingredients in the salad that I had that made me fall in love with kale. I like to add strawberries for added color and taste!

I love kale, too! Thanks for sharing!
I LOVE kale. LOVE it! I even have my kids eating kale chips.. and I add it to soups, too!
Those all look amazing. I’m a BIG fan of frittatas, so I might just need to try that one first!
that frittata looks delicious!
I tried kale chips for the first time a few months ago. At first I thought they were a little weird but found myself putting more in my mouth.
YUM!!! I love Kale!
I never know what to do with kale. Thanks for the inspiration!
I love Kale and I absolutely adore Kale Chips. I use Kale in many of my pasta and soup recipes.
MMM…. We love Kale here, it is great as chips and in smoothies! When time is an issue I “toast” it on the stove top with a little olive oil.
I have NEVER EVER tried Kale, EVER. The recipes you’ve listed though look awfully yummy, so I may just have to try it out. Thanks for sharing!
Since I am vegetarian kale and I love each-other very very very much. I’m getting impatient for mine to hurry up and grow!
If it’s anything like spinach, I’d probably like it. I actually have a bag of chocolate kale chips right now, but I’m afraid to taste them.
Kale!!!! YUM! I just researched growing my own kale last night. I am so going to do it. :)
Thanks for the recipes. Good luck with your goals
You know, I’ve never had kale, but these look so awesome I think it’s time to try it!
Those recipes look great! I’ll have to try some out!! :)
I love Kale chips! But it’s the only “kale” thing I’ve had…never used it in a recipe, etc. Your links look delicious.
I love Kale! The girls loved the Kale Chips I made before, and I try and add some in with eggs too.
I enjoy a good kale salad!
Kale. Kale. Kale. I’m going to have to try one of these other recipes. I really hate kale chips. I don’t like the texture, or the taste. But for some reason, I didn’t think you could do anything else with kale…..doh!
Mmm kale is so very yummy! It will be one of my go-tos on the next phase of my current “diet”
I put kale in my smoothies! It’s really good for you.
You totally got me wanting to try Kale! I might try one of your recipes!
Love me some Kale chips. Mmmmmmmmmmm
I’ve only had kale in Portuguese Kale Soup, never any other way. Think I’ll try the frittata.
We love Kale chips!
I have problems with my cholesterol. I need to incorporate this into my diet.
I love kale too. I like to sautee it with some garlic and olive oil
good luck to you. It so important to find the food that you like that help you lose weight
I love Kale in my smoothies :)
I LOVE kale for so many reasons – but I love putting it in my smoothies, so delicious.
I love kale chips!
It’s so funny my sister called asking me about kale this morning and how she learned of kale chips in her WW meeting. LOL! I’ll have to try this out.
I like Kale too, thanks for sharing these cool recipes!
Now I know my family won’t eat, but I may try it!
I came to love Kale Chips during my Mamavation Mom time too … Great green! I make Kale chips often and also love it in a white bean soup with chicken sausage.
My kids love Kale chips!
Kale is totally my favorite green! I’m making a galette with it today, actually. :)
I can’t believe I have never tried Kale! I will soon!
I love kale! My husband hates it though, so I make it for lunch and don’t serve it to him.
That fritatta looks great!
