Ingredients
1 cup raw broccoli florets
1 1/4 cups ripe pear cubes
1 1/4 cups Granny Smith apple cubes
1/2 tsp black salt (sanchal)
10–12 ice cubes
3/4 cup water
Instructions
Place raw broccoli florets into a high-speed blender.
Add the pear and apple cubes on top of the broccoli to facilitate blending.
Pour in the water to help create a smooth vortex.

Pulse the mixture for ten seconds to break down the fibers.
Increase to high speed and blend until the consistency is smooth and creamy.
Pour into glasses and serve immediately while chilled.
Notes
Ensure you use a high-speed blender to fully break down the raw broccoli fibers for a smooth texture. You can adjust the water quantity if you prefer a thicker or thinner smoothie. Black salt, also known as Sanchal, is key for the unique flavor profile, but if unavailable, a pinch of sea salt can work as a substitute.
