How to Meal Prep Kale

How to meal prep kale?  Kale is a dark leafy green that most people, at first, do not like because it can be too hard to chew. But there’s a trick to kale to make it taste good so you will want to eat it. Not just because it’s healthy, but tastes good too.

If you didn’t know, there is a variety of kale to pick from like lactino kale, red kale and curly kale (found in most grocery stores). I tend to choose what ever looks best at the time. I suggest looking for kale that has the best color and avoid kale that is yellow or has brownish leaves.

Kale is a green that can be prepared in advance because it’s heartier green compared to lettuce, romaine or spinach. Store in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days in a sealed container. Kale can be served raw, steamed, sautéed, and added to veggie bowls or soups.
