Green juice granita

St. Patrick's Day is this week, and while my knowledge of this holiday is confined to wearing green, I wanted to give you a little something special.

But this isn't just some strange green dessert, this is a green juice granita for those that need to recover after one too many green beers. if you've never had a granita it's kind of like a fancy snow cone, typically used as a palate cleanser between dishes at a restaurant.

this granita is filled with pineapple, coconut water, lime + kale. Yes! Kale. granita's are sweet, so the kale adds color + an excuse to count this as a salad. dive in!

green juice granita

• 2 cups fresh or frozen pineapple

• 1 cup fresh kale

• 1 cup water

• 1/3 cup white sugar

• 1/4 cup coconut water

• 1/2 lime, juice

1. Combine all of the ingredients in a blender. blend thoroughly, no chunks are allowed in this granita!

2. Pour this mixture in a large freezer-safe tupperware. Place this in the freezer.

3. Here's the part that takes some time. every hour or so use a fork to scrape the freezing mixture. you don't want it to completely freeze up, but slowly form a slush. revisit until the mixture is completely frozen.

4. Serve straight from the freezer with coconut chips for extra crunch.
