Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings 2 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large bunch kale (curly or lacinato), stems trimmed
  • 2 medium apples (Granny Smith for tart, Honeycrisp or Gala for sweeter)
  • 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
  • 1 small cucumber
  • 1 small lemon (peeled)
  • Fresh mint (small handful, optional)
  • Filtered water or coconut water (optional, for blending)
  • Ice (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

  • Wash and prep: Rinse kale, apples, cucumber, and mint. Trim tough kale stems, core apples if you like, and peel the lemon and ginger.
  • If using a juicer: Feed kale, cucumber, apples, ginger, lemon, and mint through the juicer. Stir the juice to combine flavors.
  • If using a blender: Add chopped ingredients to the blender with 1/2–1 cup water or coconut water. Blend until very smooth.
  • Strain (blender method): Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag into a bowl, pressing to extract the juice.
  • Taste and adjust: Add more lemon for brightness, apple for sweetness, or ginger for heat. If it’s too strong, dilute with a splash of water.
  • Serve cold: Pour over ice or chill for 10 minutes. Drink fresh for the best flavor and nutrients.
