Ingredients
1 green apple, cored and chopped
2 handfuls fresh kale leaves, washed
1 to 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon honey, pure maple syrup, or agave nectar, or to taste
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut milk
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
Directions
Add the chopped green apple, kale leaves, grated ginger, honey or sweetener of your choice, coconut milk, and almond milk to a blender.
Blend on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides if needed.
Pour into two glasses and serve immediately. Adjust sweetness to taste if desired.
Comments
All ingredients are readily available at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, or Kroger year-round with no special trips required. The cost per serving runs about $2.50 to $3.00 driven mostly by the coconut milk and almond milk, making it an affordable quick breakfast or snack. The stated five minutes is honest—no hidden prep once you have a blender, though washing and chopping the kale and apple adds a real minute or two. This is a single-serving drink that doesn't reheat well and works best consumed immediately, though it's ideal for a quick weekday morning when you need something fast.
