Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (loosely packed) fresh kale leaves
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1 medium banana
- 1.5 cups coconut water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons (grated) fresh ginger
- 4 pieces ice cubes
Instructions
Rinse the kale leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or residue, then pat them dry with a clean towel or paper towel.
Peel the banana and break it into chunks for easier blending.
If desired, peel a small piece of ginger and grate it to yield approximately 0.5 teaspoons.
In a blender, combine the fresh kale leaves, frozen mango chunks, banana, coconut water, lemon juice, grated ginger, and ice cubes.
Secure the lid on the blender and blend the mixture on high speed for about 1-2 minutes, or until the smoothie is completely smooth and creamy.
Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness if necessary by adding more mango or a splash of juice if preferred.
Once the desired consistency and flavor are achieved, pour the smoothie into glasses.
Serve immediately for the freshest taste and maximum nutrient retention.
