Method

Slightly thaw açaí pack under warm water for 1 minute before opening.


Combine with remaining ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until creamy and smooth.


Pour into two tall glasses to serve.


To steam kale: Bring ½ inch water to a boil in a large pot with a steamer insert. Remove tough stems from kale and place in steamer, then cover and steam for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, place a medium bowl of ice water in the sink. Transfer kale to ice water to stop the cooking and help preserve the color. Squeeze excess water from kale and press into a ¼-cup measuring cup. Unmold onto a parchment-lined tray and repeat with the rest of the kale. Freeze for 6 hours and then transfer to a resealable container to store for future use.
