- 1 Honeycrisp apple (cored)
- 2 cups kale (or 2 large kale leaves with the stem)
- 2 Medjool dates with pit removed
- 2 tbsp honey
- 3 cups of water
Instructions

Notes
- Peel the banana, split it in quarters, and add it to a freezer-friendly storage bag. Add to the freezer ahead of time. I usually have about 6 frozen bananas on hand at all times.
- Agave nectar can substitute for honey.
- Substitute 1 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp agave nectar, or 3 sukkari dates in lieu of 2 Medjool dates.
