- ½ tablespoon lemon juice juice of about ½ lemon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger optional
Instructions
- Slice the green apple to remove the core and remove the large stems from the curly kale.

- Blend at a high speed until all the ingredients have been broken down and the smoothie is thick and smooth.

Notes
- Leftover smoothies can be stored in a closed container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. It will naturally separate if it's left to sit so just stir to combine.
- It's totally fine to leave the skins on green apples and adds a lot of nutrients to this smoothie.
- Any plant-based milk can be subbed 1:1 for oat milk in this smoothie.
- Medjool dates should be soft when adding to a smoothie. If they are too hard, just add them to a bowl of warm water to soak for 5 minutes before adding to the smoothie. Otherwise, they won't blend up well. Dates can be subbed 1:1 for 2 Tbsp of maple syrup or agave.
