- 2 8–ounce bags frozen chopped kale
- 1 teaspoon cooking oil
- 1/2 onion, minced

- 1 13.5–ounce can full-fat coconut milk

Instructions
- To prep the frozen chopped kale for this recipe, open the bags and pour the frozen kale into a fine-mesh colander. Then, I rinse the kale under warm running water. Then, transfer the rinsed kale to a nut milk bag or into a clean thin dish towel and squeeze out the water.
- Next, in a large skillet, heat up the oil. Add the onion and let it soften for a few minutes.
- Add the kale, garlic powder, salt, coconut milk, maple syrup, and lemon zest to the skillet. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes.
- Turn the heat off and stir in the lemon juice. Serve warm.
Notes
- Store any leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Re-heat before serving.
- Leave out the maple syrup if you are on a Whole30, keto, or low-carb diet.
