Rio and I are also perfecting our green smoothie recipe. Whole Foods sells a green smoothie which he absolutely loves. They say it contains kale and ginger, it is delicious and costs $6.

Another great recipe that uses up all those greens! In the Global Gardens cookbook, this recipe is titles “Everything Quiche,” because you can put everything in it.
