Instructions
- Begin by preparing the fruits. Peel the kiwi and chop it into small pieces. Wash the kale thoroughly and chop the leaves roughly.
- In a high-powered blender, combine the chopped kiwi, kale leaves, water, freshly squeezed lemon juice, and honey (if you prefer a touch of sweetness).
- Blend the mixture on high speed until smooth and well-combined. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Add in the ice cubes and blend again until the juice is chilled and frothy. This step not only cools the juice, but also gives it a refreshing, slushy texture.
- Pour the juice into glasses and serve immediately for the best flavor and nutritional benefits. Garnish with a slice of kiwi or a sprig of mint if desired.
Tips
- For extra creaminess, add half an avocado or a banana to the blender.
- You can substitute spinach, chard, or any other leafy green for the kale.
- If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice. However, fresh lemons give the juice a brighter, more refreshing flavor.
