Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 cups kale stems removed, packed tightly
- 1 large Green Granny Smith apple cored and chopped
- 1 frozen banana sliced for creaminess
- 1 inch fresh ginger peeled and roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup cucumber sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice about half a lemon
- 1.5 cups coconut water unsweetened
- 1 tsp chia seeds optional for extra fiber
- 4 cubes ice optional for a chilled texture
Notes
For the best flavor, use a high-powered blender to fully pulverize the kale fibers. You can prep this ahead by placing all solid ingredients in a freezer bag; just add the coconut water and lemon juice when ready to blend. Store leftovers in an airtight jar for up to 24 hours, though some separation is natural—just shake before drinking.
