Notes
SUBSTITUTIONS
Ice Water - Feel free to use coconut water in place of ice water if desired. Kale - You could use spinach only if that’s all you have on hand. Fuji Apple - I recommend using any sweet juicy apple Lemon - ¼ cup orange juice can be used in place of the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Dates - I highly recommend using dates for added sweetness and fiber. That being said, if you don’t like dates, you could use a banana in place of the dates.Nutrition
