I usually buy a large bag at Costco, put half fresh in the fridge, and freeze the other half in ziploc bags. Frozen kale is perfect to use in fruit smoothies.  Have trouble keeping it fresh? Put 1 paper towel square in the bag with it and it will help keep it fresh longer....the science behind that? I have no idea, I just know that it works! I use this for spinach also.....

Still not sure about kale? Do some research. Look up the health benefits of kale and find out for yourself!

Thank you for the tip on how to keep spinach and kale fresh. I buy these on a weekly basis and didn't want to buy it at costco just to end up throwing most of it away.

Your recipes are simple yet all delicious. They have saved me so much time. Thank you!
