Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 1 cup Kale leaves
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 large Green apple
- 1 inch piece Fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1.5 cups Filtered water
- 10 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 5 cubes Ice cubes
Instructions
Start by thoroughly washing the spinach, kale leaves, cucumber, green apple, and mint leaves under cold running water to remove any dirt or pesticides.
Peel the cucumber if preferred (to reduce bitterness), and cut it into large chunks.
Core the green apple and cut it into pieces, leaving the skin on for added fiber and nutrients.
Peel the ginger and slice it into smaller pieces to make blending easier.
Add the spinach, kale, cucumber, green apple, ginger, lemon juice, and 1 cup of filtered water to a high-speed blender.
Blend on high until all the ingredients are well mixed and a smooth consistency is reached. This should take about 1-2 minutes depending on your blender.
Add the mint leaves, ice cubes, and the remaining 0.5 cup of filtered water to the blender.
Blend again briefly to incorporate the ice and mint until the drink is cold and slightly frothy.
Taste and adjust the consistency if necessary, adding more water for a thinner drink.
Serve immediately, garnished with a sprig of mint if desired, to enjoy the freshest flavor.
