Ice Ice Baby

How many times do you have the best intention of eating clean and buy loads of greens....only to have them wither away and turn to green slime before you've finished it all.  

We can't be alone in the Monge family!

We recently found a way to stretch our dollar and our greens....making kale and spinach ice cubes!

Adding kale or spinach ice cubes to veggie juices makes it colder and a little more enjoyable to drink and it won't end up be thrown in the trash can!

Green Ice Cubes

3 cups of kale or spinach
1/2 cup water
** This process of blanching the greens helps to preserve the greens and prevent the enzymes from breaking down when frozen. 

1. Add washed greens to nearly slow boiling water.
2. Submerge until the color gets bright green. (only a couple of minutes)
3. Remove and immediately submerge in a bowl of ice water. 
4. Place in a blender with 1/2 cup water and blend until liquified.
5. Transfer to ice cube trays and freeze.
6. Remove from tray and store in an air tight container.
