Amazing that vegetables have more protein than nuts, seeds, or grains!
Victoria Boutenko describes in her award-winning book “Green For Life” how and why dark leafy greens have the most digestible and assimilable proteins available to humankind. They are also the best source of minerals and calcium. And Kale is the most nutrient dense food measured by Agreggate Nutrient Density, or the most nutrients per calorie. Here are two great recipes to get your Greens for life!

Juice in vegetable juicer:
- 1 bunch kale
