Preparation

Prepare the Ingredients
Wash the cucumber and kale thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or pesticides. Peel the cucumber if desired, although keeping the skin can add extra nutrients. Remove the stems from the kale leaves and tear them into smaller pieces for easier blending. Peel the ginger root and slice it into smaller chunks for easier processing.
Blending

Blend the Ingredients
In a blender, combine the chopped cucumber, kale leaves, lime juice (squeeze the lime into the blender after cutting it in half), ginger pieces, and agave syrup. Add about 1 cup of cold water to help with the blending process. Blend on high until all ingredients are smooth and well combined, about 1-2 minutes.
Serving

Serve the Green Machine
Once blended, pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth if you prefer a smoother texture. Use a spoon to press the mixture and extract as much juice as possible. Serve the Green Machine in glasses over ice, and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and freshness.
