Smoothie Recipes with Martha Stewart – Fall Delight
Made with kale, crispy apple, carrot and ginger
Posted October 31st, 2012 by noelle | 2 Comments »
Some of my favorite New York mornings in the fall are spent a short walk from my apartment at the Union Square Farmers Market. This weekend everything looked so delightful, so I gathered a beautiful pumpkin, a colorful bunch of flowers, some crispy apples, a few heirloom carrots, several bundles of kale, and a handful of fresh ginger for a smoothie. The earthy carrot and the tangy ginger gave an unexpected kick to this smoothie that I’ve been enjoying on its own and also paired with a salad.

just found your blog today by accident I'm so excited YEAH!!!!! Since my recent diagnosis with multiple food allergies and being told to eliminate dairy and meat from my diet I'm finding it challenging to eat and live a health life since that wasn't my norm. I'm learning and processing all this and I love it. I feel so much better.Â
