TIPS
Here are some helpful tips for you when making this kale green goddess juice.
- For A Colder, More Refreshing Drink: Use chilled ingredients or add a few ice cubes before blending.
- Blend For An Extra 30 Seconds: Use a standard blender to break down the kale and cucumber fibres fully.
- Straining Is Optional: But recommended for a smoother juice if you prefer a lighter consistency.
- Use Organic Ingredients: To ensure the highest quality and avoid pesticide residues, especially for leafy greens.
- Drink Immediately: To prevent nutrient degradation and enjoy the freshest flavour.
VARIATIONS
- Boost The Detox Effect: Add a small piece of fresh ginger for extra anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Increase Protein: Blend in a tablespoon of chia seeds or hemp seeds for added plant-based protein.
- Make It Sweeter: Swap the apple for a pear or add half a banana for natural sweetness.
- Enhance Hydration: Replace the water with coconut water for a natural electrolyte boost.
- Add Spice: A pinch of cayenne pepper will enhance metabolism and add a slight heat.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake well before drinking, as natural separation may occur.
- Freezing: Pour into an ice cube tray and freeze. Blend frozen cubes with fresh water when ready to enjoy.
- Meal Prepping: To save time, pre-cut the cucumber, core the apple and wash the kale leaves. Store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days and blend when needed.
