Prep everything: wash, trim, and chop so you’re not wrestling greens while the clock’s ticking.

Juice the kale, cucumber, apple, celery, lemon, and ginger. If your juicer balks, give it a nudge with the water to help it along.

Pour the juice through a fine-mesh sieve if you want a smoother sip. No judgment if you skip this step—texture is personal.

Stir in cold water or coconut water to loosen and chill. Taste; adjust lemon or apple to your preference.
