Method
- Rinse your kale, spinach, lemon, and apple under cool running water to remove any dirt, then pat the greens dry with a clean towel.
- Roughly chop the kale into 2-inch pieces and gather the spinach leaves.
- Cut the green apple into quarters and remove the core, keeping the skin on for extra fiber.
- Cut the lemon in half, remove any seeds, and optionally peel to remove the bitter white pith.
- Slice the peeled ginger into 1/4-inch thick coins or batons for easy juicing.
- Start by running the softer greens through your juicer, alternating with the apple, lemon, and ginger to prevent clogging.
- If using a blender, combine kale, spinach, apple, lemon, ginger, and water; blend on high speed for 45 seconds, then strain through a fine mesh sieve.
- Pour the extracted juice into a pitcher, add filtered water to reach desired consistency, and stir in a pinch of sea salt if needed.
- Serve the kale tonic immediately over ice for maximum freshness and nutrition.
Notes
Store any leftover juice in an airtight glass container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; shake before serving.
