Green Kale Shake

Source / presenter

• Demonstration on Joe Rogan In The Kitchen, recipe shown by “Jeff.”
• Credited as inspired by Kevin James.
• Vitamix high‑speed blender shown in the video.

Overview

A very green kale shake made in a blender (not a juicer). Quantities are not specified in the video; ingredients are added qualitatively and blended until drinkable. A little liquid may be added as needed for blending.

Ingredients

• Fresh kale (base / majority of the shake)
• Cucumber, chopped
• Celery stalks
• Fresh ginger (a small piece — “a touch”)
• Pear (used in the demo); apple is an acceptable substitute
• Water or other liquid to loosen as needed (not specified in subtitles)

Equipment and prep

• High‑speed blender (Vitamix shown)
• Prep: chop the cucumber; other produce can be added whole or roughly chopped
• Bring all ingredients to the blender and blend

Method — step‑by‑step

1. Prepare ingredients: chop the cucumber; have kale, celery, pear (or apple), and a small piece of ginger ready.
2. Add kale, chopped cucumber, celery, pear, and ginger to the blender.
3. Blend until fully combined and drinkable — result described in the demo as a very green, “Hulk”-colored shake.
4. Serve immediately (presenter drinks it first thing in the morning).

Blend (not juice) to retain the plant fiber.

Technique cues and timings

• Use a blender to keep the fiber from the plants; a juicer removes fiber.
• Blend until smooth/drinkable — no exact time given.

Chef tips, reasons and claims from the video

• Blender vs juicer: blending retains fiber, which the presenter emphasizes as a benefit.
• Ginger: recommended to aid digestion; optional if you dislike it.
• Fruit: pear is used in the demo; apple is a fine substitute.
• Consumption note: the presenter says he drinks this daily and credits it with improved bowel movements/digestion.

Variations / alternatives

• Swap pear for apple.
• Omit ginger if preferred.

Non‑recipe context mentioned

• The presenter credits learning the recipe from Kevin James (noted for weight loss).
• A long discussion of personal dietary supplements accompanies the demo (examples mentioned: Alpha Brain, fish oil, vitamin packs, Jack3d). These supplements are not part of the shake recipe.
