Notes

  • I prefer to buy the pre-washed, chopped bags of kale; they are all ready to go with less work. Feel free to buy a bunch of kale.  If so, be sure to remove the woody stems.
  • If you choose to use baby kale, it will wilt in just a couple minutes as opposed to 10-15 minutes. In this case, saute the onions first until soft, then add the kale. 
  • Olive oil can be substituted for coconut oil.
  • Green apples work best since they have a crisp bite to them. 
  • Eating greens with vinegar is very traditional but not everyone cares for them this way.  If you aren't a fan of the acidic flavor of vinegar, substitute it for a sprinkle of sugar or brown sugar for a sweeter version of sauteed kale.
  • Kale Stir Fry can easily meet the criteria of a clean eating recipe and would be a great side for an Arbonne 30 Days to Healthy Living Challenge if organic ingredients and Pink Himalayan Salt is used.
