This iced kiwi kale-ade is not only refreshing, but it will help calm your allergy symptoms. It has loads of vitamin C and antioxidants, which can help the immune system. Quercetin from the parsley is nature's antihistamine, so don't leave this one out. Bonus? Kiwis are lower-sugar fruits, so this is a sweet spring treat we can get behind.

Here's how you make it.

Ingredients

1 cup shredded/de-stemmed organic kale
6 ounces purified or distilled water
2 tablespoons organic parsley
2 kiwis
a handful of ice

Method

Blend together and pour into your favorite margarita glass!

Integrative Medicine Doctor

Dr. Taz Bhatia, MD, is a board-certified physician, specializing in integrative and emergency medicine, pediatrics and prevention, with expertise in women’s health, weight-loss, hormone balance and nutrition. She is the author of the best-selling books “Super Woman RX” and “The 21-Day Belly Fix.” Personal health challenges in her twenties combined with a broken health care system motivated Dr. Taz to pursue an alternative definition of health and healthy living. As a young resident, she was sick and without answers, and began searching for help to heal her health issues. Studying various systems of medicine including Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture and Ayurveda, she found a wealth of information not yet taught in conventional medical schools. It led her to opening her now nationally-recognized practice, CentreSpring MD (formerly Atlanta Center for Holistic and Integrative Medicine). Today, Dr. Taz and her team work relentlessly to find a patient’s core health problems, their centre, in order to spring them forth in health, pulling from multiple systems of medicine, including integrative, functional, Chinese and holistic medicine.
