Toast Dad with a Piña Kaleada from Spicebox Kitchen

Father’s Day is tomorrow, and if you haven’t planned breakfast for Dad yet, have no fear! This simple recipe from Spicebox Kitchen requires 5 ingredients (or less), and comes together in less than a minute. The kale adds a vibrant color while also contributing a serving of greens. Also, it’s spikeable (with rum), if that’s how Dad likes to celebrate. And if he likes to cook, you can also get him a copy of Spicebox Kitchen!

Piña Kaleada

Serves: 2

Ingredients

1/2 cup coconut milk + 1/2 cup water, or 1 cup light coconut milk

11/4 cups cubed fresh pineapple

1 cup baby kale

2 ice cubes

1/2 frozen banana, sliced (optional, if your pineapple isn’t very sweet)

Method

Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Pour into two glasses, umbrella optional.

Nutrition highlights

Pineapples are not only tropical, sweet and juicy but they are an excellent source of vitamin C and antioxidants. They also contain an enzyme, bromelain, which helps with digestion and inflammation.

Kale is full of fiber, iron, magnesium, potassium, vitamins A, C, K and B vitamins, plus lots of antioxidants.
