Fresh Greens Juice
Uses [KitchenAid® High Performance Series Blender](https://yummly.app.link/dCkCTaFsd1).
Ingredients
6 ice cubes
1 to 2 teaspoons honey (optional)
1 cup chopped romaine leaves
1 cup chopped kale leaves
1 large crisp-tart apple, peeled, cored and roughly chopped
1 cucumber, roughly chopped (about 1 heaping cup)
2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup water
Step by step
Combine water, lemon juice, celery, cucumber, apple, kale, romaine, honey (if desired) and ice in blender jar of KitchenAid® Pro Line® Blender. Secure lid and set blender to Juicing setting. Blend until machine turns itself off.
Alternatively, combine ingredients in blender as directed, secure lid and turn dial to Speed 1. Slowly increase speed to high (Speed 10 or 11). Blend until completely smooth, about 1 minute. Turn dial to Speed 2 and blend for 10 seconds or so to reduce froth.
If juice is too thick, blend in extra splash or two of water. Serve directly from blender, or line fine-mesh sieve with double layer of cheesecloth and strain juice into container, pressing against solids with rubber spatula to extract all juice. Juice is best if served right away.
Chef’s Tip: Use tender baby kale for a sweeter result, as more mature leaves can have a bitter taste.
