Kale health benefits

Kale is considered a superfood. It’s super-rich in nutrients, much like all dark leafy greens. Kale is high in iron, comparable to a serving of beef. Kale is also rich in B vitamins and Vitamin A. Not to mention it has great fiber content too.

This recipe is also Keto-friendly

If you’re on the Keto diet, you’re in luck! This paleo recipe is also Keto-friendly. That means this recipe is particularly low in carbs and most of the carbohydrates come from fiber instead of net carbs. There is also a variety of fat from different sources in the soup. You could include this recipe in any meal prep rotation or meal plan.

Almond milk substitutions

If you’re allergic to nuts, you don’t have to opt for coconut milk in this recipe. Substitute the almond milk with oat milk. Oat milk will also add a richer taste to your soup since it’s a little thicker than nut milk. Keep in mind that although you don’t need much per serving, oat milk is higher in carbs than almond milk.
