2 servings
- 2 cups curly kale leaves, stems removed, roughly torn
- 1 medium green apple, cored and roughly chopped (about 1 cup)
- 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 1 large lemon)
- 1 tsp fresh ginger, peeled and grated
- 1 ½ cups coconut water
Ingredient noteOnly unpasteurized juice is a concern in pregnancy. Packaged juice and coconut water sold in stores is treated - if there is no "not pasteurized" warning on the label, it is fine.
- 1 cup ice cubes
- 1 tsp raw honey (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Add the coconut water to the blender first, then layer in the kale, chopped apple, lemon juice, grated ginger, and ice.
- 2
Blend on high speed for 60–90 seconds, until completely smooth with no visible kale flecks remaining.
