The new spring is here, which means you can plant your early season kale if you haven't already. This is a delicious recipe for a kale + banana + honey smoothie. Be sure to check out the HGTV HOME Plants Patio Veggies and Herbs selection which features kale and other veggies.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of Kale leaves torn into bite size pieces

Directions:

1. Put all ingredients in a blender and liquefy. Taste and adjust honey if desired.
2. Add a few ice cubes while in the blender if you like or some of your favorite protein powder.
3. Garnish with fresh cut apple
