Strawberry Ginger Kale Daiquiri: Guest Post by The Healthy Maven

Get your booze and veggies too with this deliciously refreshing Strawberry Ginger Kale Daiquiri

Welcome to Day 2 of Booze Week. I'm off pulling a fun prank on my kids today. My son flew in for vacation, so I'm off work for 10 days. Today I'm forcing the entire family to go see Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles against their will. My son was such an obsessed, avid fan when he was little. So as payback for all the hours I've put in watching it when he was younger I made them all go see it, even though they didn't want to. I'm cool like that. I'm be laughing my head off while they cringe in their seats. Yes, I'm Kim, and I have a weird sense of humour.

Today's special guest is a fellow Canuck. Please welcome Davida of The Healthy Maven to the blog today. I just love this gal, she's a gorgeous lady making beautiful food. You will love all her recipes, and her style. I encourage you to head over and stalk her blog like I do.

Hello Cravings of a Lunatic readers! My name is Davida and I blog over at The Healthy Maven. It may seem weird that I write a healthy food blog but jumped at the opportunity to create a boozy drink recipe for Kim, but soon you’ll see why…

As much as I preach ALL THE KALE, I also think a healthy lifestyle requires a hefty dose of alcohol. If it doesn’t work for ya, more power to you but I know for a fact that I am a better person after a glass (or three) of wine.

But sometimes wine isn’t gonna cut it and you need the hard stuff. However, I am only 24 and do not feel mature enough to be drinking any type of alcohol straight up. I consider myself in the life-phase where sugary, bright-coloured drinks are still socially acceptable. Or so I tell myself.

But just because I drink like an 18 year old on the beach in Mexico, doesn’t mean I need to put myself into a sugar coma. I’d also like to make it through my 20s without developing scurvy so I figured it’s a win-win scenario if I mix some kale with my booze.

You see, I consider hiding vegetables in your food/drinks a real hobby of mine. Some of you play a sport, or knit or binge-watch the Kardashians. I sneak kale into your daiquiris. Different strokes for different folks, ya know?

Now before you get your panties in a bunch, I promise you cannot taste the kale. You can thank the ginger for that. It also managed to mask the rum, which then led to me drinking both servings of this recipe. At 2:00 PM. But hey, at least I ate my veggies!

If you also have an affinity for hidden veggies or tricking people into eating spinach in their brownies, then I think we might make great friends. Come swing by my little corner of the Internet and say hi! Although I can’t promise I won’t be blogging under the influence…
