Ingredients
1 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
1/2 cup frozen mango chunks
1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
1/2 ripe banana
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup crushed ice
1 cup baby spinach
1 cup baby kale
Instructions
Place the peeled ginger, frozen mango, frozen pineapple, and banana into the blender canister.
Add the washed baby spinach and baby kale on top of the fruit.
Pour the 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of crushed ice over the ingredients.
Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy.
Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure all tough stems are removed from the kale to avoid a bitter taste. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add an extra splash of water. Using frozen fruit is key to achieving a thick, milkshake-like texture without needing to add extra ice that might dilute the flavor.
