Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw curly green kale
- 1 large pear cored and sliced into large pieces
- ½ cucumber peeled
- ½ lemon juiced
- ¼ cup ice plus more as needed
- ¾ cup cold water plus more as needed
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a high-powered blender.
- Blend until smooth, adding additional water or ice until the smoothie is your desired texture and consistency.
- Pour into a glass and enjoy!
Notes
- Juicer-style smoothie: This blend is meant to be thinner, like a green juice, not thick like a traditional smoothie.
- No pear? Swap with a small apple or a little extra cucumber, but the texture and sweetness will change slightly.
- Optional add-ins: Add a small knob of ginger or a handful of spinach if you want an extra boost.
- Not ideal for storing: This smoothie is best fresh. If you do store it, shake well before drinking and enjoy within 24 hours.
