  • 1 cup kale
  • 1 cucumber chopped
  • 1/2 grapefruit peeled and seeded
  • 1/2 cup green tea chilled
  • 1 stalk celery chopped

Method
 

Phase 1: Building the Liquid Base
  1. Place the kale, cucumber, grapefruit, and chilled green tea into your blender. Start with liquids and softer ingredients first to create a smooth, consistent base.
  2. Puree on high-speed until the mixture is completely smooth and vibrant, achieving a velvety consistency. Scrape down sides if needed and continue blending.
Phase 2: Adding Texture and Sweetness
  1. Add the chopped celery and frozen pineapple to the blender. These are added later for thorough blending, especially the frozen pineapple for thickness and chill.
  2. Blend again on high-speed until everything is perfectly pureed, aiming for a smooth, thick consistency without chunks. Adjust thickness with more chilled green tea/water or frozen pineapple if desired.
