Savory Green Morning Shake

← Ingredients

Kale

The low-oxalate calcium anchor — calcium that's actually absorbable (~41% vs ~5% from spinach).

Targets: Calcium

Kale’s fractional calcium absorption runs ~41% — actually higher than milk’s ~32% — because it is low in oxalates, the compounds that bind calcium in the gut and prevent absorption. That is the entire reason kale anchors the shake’s calcium rather than a high-oxalate green like spinach, whose calcium is only ~5% absorbable.
