Tips for Enhancing Kale Tonic Recipe

Blend the kale properly: Making vegetable-based juice can be tricky sometimes. This is because the consistency of the leaves is quite different from that of fruits. Thus, if the blending isn’t done properly, it’s possible to have a stringy or chunky mixture. Also, this affects the overall enjoyability of the juice.

Don’t add too much or little kale: It is very easy to end up adding too much or too little kale into the mix especially if you are making it for the first time. The quantity of kale added easily affects the quality of the final drink. Thus,  ensure you add the right quantity of kale. However, if you end up adding too much kale, simply add more apples and lemons to the mix.

Don’t over dilute with water: It’s a common error to over dilute the blended mix with water. Some do this while trying to avoid having a deep green drink. Also, others simply do this because they do not know the right amount of water to add. To be on the safer side, it is advisable to add water incrementally while tasting it until a perfect taste is achieved.
