Total Time 15 minutes
Course Drinks

Equipment

  • Blender (I Reccommened a VitaMix)
  • Mason Jars

Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Finely chopped kale Ensure stems are removed to guarantee a smooth texture)
  • 1 Cup Fresh pineapple chunks this tropical sweetness will overshadow the kale
  • 1 Cup Ripe mango chunks Preferably honey mangos the vibrant yellow ones
  • Cup water or adjust to achieve desired consistency
  • Ahandful of ice cubes optional,but great for a chill touch

Instructions
 

  • First and foremost, ensure that the kale leaves are squeaky clean. Once washed, pat them dry and de-stem.
  • To make the blending process seamless, start by pouring the water into a high-powered blender.
  • Stealthily add the finely chopped kale, ensuring it's completely soaked in the water. This helps in blending it into oblivion.
  • Top off with the pineapple and mango chunks – our prime distractors.
  • For those opting to serve it chilled, a handful of ice cubes does the trick.
  • Let the blender whirl on high until every component melds into a creamy concoction. If it seems a tad too thick, a splash more water will get it to the perfect sip-worthy consistency.
  • Give it a quick taste. If the kale is peeking through, a tad more pineapple or mango can be your cloak and dagger.
  • Divvy it up into two 12 oz mason jars, and voila! Your stealthy smoothie is ready for its mission.
