½inch slice of fresh gingerpeeled and chopped or use ½ teaspoon minced
½cupmangofrozen, chopped
Instructions
Because I am using a Vitamix, I add all ingredients to the blender at once. If using a regular blender, start with the water, kale, and parsley and blend slowly. Then add in remaining ingredients.
Start on low to get things going. This aids in not getting the blades clogged.
Gradually bring it to a higher speed.
Once ingredients are flowing, blend on high until smooth.
Pour and Enjoy!
Notes
You can freeze some of the smoothie into an ice cube tray and use as 'ice' to your water. Sometimes, I buy the kale that is already prepared and washed in the bag for simplicity. But, please pick through. You can use peeled fresh ginger or already minced ginger in a jar available at your supermarket. I use a 2" slice of Meyer lemon that is seeded and unpeeled. The skin is thin. If you use a regular lemon with a thick peel, you can use the zest then peel off rind. This is optional.
