How to Make a 'First Watch' Kale Tonic at Home

This incredibly nutrient-dense kale tonic is inspired by the popular First Watch green juice. It is very easy to make at home, no juicier needed, and so full of nutrition, such as vitamins and antioxidants. Naturally vegan, raw and gluten-free.

INGREDIENTS

4 large leaves of kale - stems removed
2 fuji apples - seeds + core removed and roughly chopped
1 English cucumber - roughly chopped
1 lemon - juiced, or more to taste
3 cups water

TIPS

For the best taste and health benefits use everything organic.
Leave the skins on the apples and cucumbers
For a restaurant-style consistency you would need to strain it. You will however lose some of the health benefits you get from the skin of the apples and cucumber. So it's best you just drink it all.

DIRECTIONS

Add the apples, cucumber and kale to a blender and pour the water over. Also, add the lemon juice to the blender.
Blend on high until smooth (about 1 minute).
Place a fine-mesh colander over a large bowl and pour the blended juice over. Then, use a spoon to help the clear green juice fall into the bowl. Discard the pulp.
You can serve the kale tonic right away or chill it first (30-60 minutes) for a colder juice. Serve with ice cubes and lemon slices.
