On the 4th, I popped into WM Neighborhood Market specifically to grab 2 bags of chopped kale. They did not have the 1 lb bag of chopped Kale at the Neighborhood Market, so I picked up 2 tubs of baby kale. They were 5 ounces each, and cost $2.98. That is about the same cost as the 1 lb bags of chopped fully grown kale. I understand why, though. Microgreens (baby greens) are more nutrient dense than the fully grown version. Nutrient density between the two options is probably similar between the 5 oz of baby greens vs the 1 lb of full grown greens. Yet, I prefer to buy the larger bags because they go farther than the baby greens.
I am working on talking myself into a 10 day long green smoothie "fast". I have lots of frozen fruits that I purchased on sale and processed myself, so I know there are no added sugars. I have been doing at least one green smoothie for the last few days, and have tweaked my recipe to the point that I think I could have it as my primary food for 10 days. Adding a few new recipes will help. Wish me luck!
