Inspired by the Mighty Kale smoothie I had at Jugo Juice I decided to try this out at home.
It's really easy to make. It can be done in a blender or a pitcher with a hand blender.
I never officially measured anything. So this will all be very general. Please add either more fruit/kale or juice to get the texture you want.
To reach a more pleasant color stick to light colored fruit. If you only care about taste be as creative as you like.
This is what I've tried this far:
1st batch
- Fresh Kale, leaves only, large handful
- Fresh Pineapple, at least a cup
- Fresh Strawberries, at least a cup
- Guava juice, 1cup and then as needed
** Note to start blending the juice with the Kale as once it's well blended, add the fruit a bit at a time when using a hand blender.
2nd batch ( made at work)
- Fresh Kale, big handful
- Frozen Peaches, a cup
- Frozen black cherries, a cup
- Guava juice, at least a cup
- Five alive Peach juice, as needed
Enjoy!
I always order this soup at my favorite place in Chinatown. As of February 14, they've re-opened with a brand new name and look! I'm very happy that I can still order the same great food. The place is now called Restaurant Kan Bai, at 1110 Clarke street.
It's big enough to store my large pot of soup and later, I can reheat in it too!
