Instructions:
- Ginger: Peel the slice of ginger root to remove the skin, ensuring you are left with about 11 grams.
- Celery: Rinse the celery stalk thoroughly and chop it into smaller pieces, measuring approximately 24 grams.
- Cucumber: Rinse the cucumber and slice it into smaller chunks, measuring approximately 27 grams.
- Avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, scoop out 1/4 avocado (around 50 grams), and set aside.
- In a blender, pour in 3/4 cup of water.
- Add 1/2 scoop of whey protein powder.
- Drop in the peeled slice of ginger root.
- Add the chopped celery pieces.
- Incorporate the cucumber chunks.
- Add the 1/4 avocado.
- Finally, add 1/2 cup of kale and 1/2 cup of spinach.
- Secure the lid on the blender to avoid any spills.
- Start blending on a low speed to chop up the larger pieces.
- Gradually increase the speed to high and blend until the mixture is smooth and well-combined. This should take about 1-2 minutes, depending on the strength of your blender.
- If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, you can add more water, a little at a time, blending again until you achieve your preferred consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass.
- Optionally, garnish with a small sprig of kale or a cucumber slice for an extra touch of presentation.

Tips:
- Ensure all ingredients are fresh and organic for the best taste and nutritional value.
- Pre-wash and chop the vegetables, especially the kale and spinach, to make blending easier.
- If you prefer a colder smoothie, use chilled water or add a few ice cubes before blending.
- Blend the ginger first to ensure it gets pureed evenly and infuses well with other ingredients.
- Feel free to adjust the quantity of water if you prefer a thicker or thinner consistency.
- You can replace whey protein with a plant-based protein powder if you are vegan or lactose intolerant.
