KALE Kale is considered a nutritional powerhouse, and for good reason! It’s packed with vitamins and minerals, easily digestible, and sweeter than some of its green leafy vegetable counterparts. Kale is great for anyone looking to bump up their dietary iron, antioxidants, Vitamin C, Calcium, or Vitamin K.

FUJI APPLES An apple a day keeps the doctor away! Consuming apples has been linked to reducing the risk of some cancers, cardiovascular disease, asthma, and diabetes. The fiber you get from the pectin and flavonoids can slow digestion, so you feel fuller after eating.

LEMONS Lemons are an excellent source of vitamin C. Lemons have many health benefits and studies suggest lemons could help with your complexion, cancer prevention, iron absorption, blood pressure, and boost your immune system.

DATES Dates provide another great source of dietary iron for our Kale Apple Smoothie, and that’s good news for anyone battling anemia.

Step 1 Wash the produce and remove kale stems

Enjoy! This recipe makes two 8 ounce smoothies or one large 16 ounce smoothie.
