I really have to try CSA. I only learned about it yesterday and found so many bloggers raving about it. Sauteed Swiss Chards w/ Parmesan Cheese sounds great! Thank you for the link.

Shannon -- I think the occasional raw spinach or raw kale is okay, but they are best eaten cooked. Here's what I do for my smoothies: I put the kale in the blender, along with a 1/4cup of almost boiling hot water and a tablespoon or two of coconut oil. Then I whirl that around for a minute or so until it's smooth. Then I add the other ingredients. This does two things: 1) It helps blend the kale & coconut oil in with the smoothies better. 2) It very lightly "steams" the kale to take the neutralize some of its anti-nutrient properties.

I love your menu plan. I have a question for you. I watched the video your site points to for getting started on green smoothies, and I made one today, and it's quite delicious, but I am really wondering about raw kale. On page 366 of Nourishing Traditions, it says that raw kale should be avoided. What is your take? Are there greens out there that would be better in smoothies for us than kale? Thanks!

There are a couple of breaks in the year, but they're not so bad. Plus we have the option to buy our CSA share in 10-week "seasons," so you don't have to fork over as much money up front.
