Cabbage & Root Power Smoothie

1Prepare all vegetables by washing thoroughly. Chop the cabbage, carrot (1 large), and kale into smaller pieces to facilitate blending.

2Peel the ginger root and cut into small chunks.

3Add the chopped cabbage, carrot (1 large), kale, and ginger into a high-speed blender.

4Pour in 1 cup of cold water (1 cup) to help blend the ingredients smoothly.

5Add fresh lemon juice (1 tablespoon) and honey if using, to balance the flavors and add a touch of sweetness.

6Blend on high speed for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add more water to reach desired consistency.

7Taste and adjust sweetness or lemon juice as needed.

8Add a few ice cubes and blend again briefly if you prefer a chilled smoothie.

9Pour into a tall glass and serve immediately for the best flavor and nutritional benefit.
