Can you guess which veggie has been hailed as the "new beef"? This plant-based superstar has taken the world by storm. We're so excited to share with you how we use this amazing vegetable in our dishes at The Real Food Academy Tampa!
Spring is in the air in South Florida, and today I'm really excited to share one of my favorite recipes which includes a vegetable (from the cabbage family) with such a high carbohydrate-to-protein ratio, it's now acclaimed as the "new beef."
Can you guess which veggie I'm talking about? Hailed as the "new beef," Kale has a 3:1 carbohydrate-to-protein ratio – an exceptionally high amount of protein for any vegetable. At just 33 calories, one cup of raw kale has nearly 3 grams of protein, 2.5 grams of fiber (which helps manage blood sugar and makes you feel full), vitamins A, C, and K. And, there's more benefits involved with raw kale.

At The Real Food Academy, we teach how to cook using real ingredients. We believe that all kinds of meals, snacks, and desserts should be enjoyed, and that what often makes certain foods feel “unhealthy” is the processed ingredients used to make them.
By using better oils, natural sweeteners, and thoughtfully sourced ingredients, our customers learn to make food that’s familiar, satisfying, and smarter for their bodies and lifestyles.
Because our staffing, ingredient purchases, and overall preparations are planned based on the number of registered participants, all payments and deposits are non-refundable.
The Real Food Academy offers in-house wine and beer options for adults at all events, including when accompanying kids’ parties. For a full selection, please visit our Wine and Beer list page.

For this reason, we kindly ask that you do not bring these items.
