Prep your greens: Strip the kale leaves from the stems. Roughly chop so they blend easier. If using spinach, rinse and shake dry.

Load the blender smartly: Add liquid first, then kale and spinach, then apple and banana, followed by avocado, ginger, seeds, and ice on top. This helps everything circulate.

Blend until silky: Start on low, then increase to high for 45–60 seconds. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed. You’re aiming for a smooth, creamy texture with no leafy bits.

Taste and adjust: Add more lemon for brightness, more liquid if too thick, or a couple of ice cubes if you want it frostier. A tiny pinch of sea salt can make the flavors pop.

Serve right away: Pour into a chilled glass. If saving, see storage tips below for best texture and color.
