Thanks for posting that site. Looks like I could spend lots of time surfing other parts of it in the near future… :) Answered my question perfectly!

I wonder if you would have to blanch the kale before freezing it, though — otherwise it may be one of those that loses much of its nutritional value (read: vitamins) if you freeze it straight from fresh cuttings. If anyone knows the answer to that, I’d be happy to hear because I’ve often wanted to freeze my smoothie kale and spinach leaves but haven’t because I was afraid of destroying some of the food value if I didn’t boil it first. Thanks in advance, if anyone knows the answer!

Great idea! I use kale all the time and freeing it would make it easier.

You should try frozen kale. Healthiest vegetable and when you freeze it, it takes the bitterness out. I swear. I wasn’t a believer until I tried it.

I calculate points based on the total nutritional info. It’s the “safe” way and I don’t want to false advertise point values. I’ve attempted to ask WW what the “right” way is but I’ve never gotten a clear answer.

The protein powder is only 80 cals with 20g of protein, no fat or carbs. It does help make them more filling for me but it also ads a wonderful creamy texture.

Is the protein powder the thing that is making it 6 WWPs? I have just starting making smoothies with parsley, kale and frozen fruit. Based on my ingredients, it seems like 0 points but I want to make sure. Does putting in protein powder give the smoothie more staying power for you? Thanks!
