If you're Dutch you'd probably ask me; "What on earth are you talking about? What's a "mouse cabbage". Well, it should actually be written as "mouse cabbage" but then I won't get their attention had I not used that word. Mouse cabbage is what people up North in Groningen call - kale.
Have ya' eaten much junk during the holidays? Didn't forgive all those yum cakes. meat dishes, seafood and tripple yum dessert you were served during the holidays that made your weighing scale pointing further to the right eh? Yes? Guilty?
Then, it's time to detoxify.
Kale is one of the highest level antioxidant containing vegies. It's not just rich in protein, Vitamin A, C and K, minerals like potassium, calcium, thiamin, riboflavin and ijzer. It's actually said to be a super detoxifier. I'll let the pic below do the talking.
Therefore, if you are indeed guilty of pigging out during the holidays ... then it's really time to detoxify. Admit it, you gave in to all the sweetness there was on the table didn't you? Well guess what? Sugar is ain't our body's best friend and most of what's been served during the holidays are but - sugar bombs. Taking much of it is much worse if you did it after 20:00 - that can sign you up for having diabetes. Well, worry not, mouse cabbage to the rescue!
I'm with you if you say .. "but, but, but .. it ain't a party eating kale or having it in ya' smoothie." However, if that's what our bodies need, I'll damn write about it. Combined with turmeric and ginger, this smoothie can give your metabolism a super boost. You won't have to go on a diet, you may just eat on - (well, no pig eating ' course! everything that's "too much" is ain't good for ya' ey?) Anyhow, if you start your mornings with this smoothie recipe - you'll loose those kilos ya' gained in just a few days.
Here are the ingredients.

How to:
' course I drank more than that but I really wanted to present this pretty pretty so I used those tiny goblets above but I actually drank this much. Yes, we do this every morning these days, half an hour before taking breakfast. It's kale season and everything that is in season is exactly what our bodies need so I encourage you to challenge your excuses and try having adding kale in ya' morning smoothie.
Do this every morning and surprise yourself with an almost effortless - weight loss. Make it a habit and say .. 2 months and you'll really slim down after a few weeks, well - it'll only work if you won't pig out on anything. Stop when you feel full. No gluttony allowed. You may also add pineapple, persimmon or avocado instead of the mangoes in your kale smoothie ( always have a banana in mine that's where I get my "adhd - like energy" ) to give it a different flavor and make it not a bore. As long as you use ginger and turmeric in your Mouse cabbage Plus smoothie then - it'll definitely work as a "weight loss formula". "course, a bit of self discipline would surely help.
