Green Lightening (or Mainlining Kale)

Blender green juice?!

 

It's a gorgeous bright green, and the apple/ginger taste is delicious!  From start to finish this process takes 15 minutes.. clean blender on the counter to clean blender in the dish drainer.  The nutritional content is out of this world.

 

You could use any green vegetable, but kale is the top of the line for nutrients.

 

Once you get used to drinking this magical elixir, graduate to omitting the apple.

Ingredients:

 

1/2 large bunch kale, washed

1 or 2 organic apples

1 inch ginger root, peeled

1/2 a lemon, just the yellow part peeled (leave the white)

1 cucumber, peeled if not organic

 

Fill your blender:

 

3/4 full of chopped kale

1/2 pealed organic apple chopped

1 inch ginger root chopped

Juice of 1/2 a lemon

1 cup organic apple juice

Fill to 2/3's full with filtered water

 

Low Speed Blender:

Start blender on low speed and increase to high.  Blend on high for about a minute and a half.  You want the kale very finely chopped.  Strain through a mesh strainer and drink.

 

High Speed Blender (Vitamix, Blentec):

Start blender on low speed and increase to high.  Blend on high for about 15 seconds (any more and you will liquify the entire thing into a smoothie, but hey, maybe that would be okay too!). Strain and drink up.

 

Of course you can run the same ingredients through your juicer as well.
