Ingredients

1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 stalks celery roughly chopped
1 cucumber roughly chopped, about 1 heaping cup
1 crisp tart apple large, peeled, cored and roughly chopped
1 cup kale leaves chopped
1 cup romaine leaves chopped
2 teaspoons honey optional
6 ice cubes

Directions

1

Combine water, lemon juice, celery, cucumber, apple, kale, romaine, honey (if desired) and ice in blender jar of KitchenAid(R) Pro Line(R) Blender. Secure lid and set blender to Juicing setting. Blend until machine turns itself off.
2

Alternatively, combine ingredients in blender as directed, secure lid and turn dial to Speed 1. Slowly increase speed to high (Speed 10 or 11). Blend until completely smooth, about 1 minute. Turn dial to Speed 2 and blend for 10 seconds or so to reduce froth.
3

If juice is too thick, blend in extra splash or two of water. Serve directly from blender, or line fine-mesh sieve with double layer of cheesecloth and strain juice into container, pressing against solids with rubber spatula to extract all juice. Juice is best if served right away.

Chef's Tip: Use tender baby kale for a sweeter result, as more mature leaves can have a bitter taste.
