Prepare the Ingredients: Start by cutting the avocado in half, removing the pit, and scooping the flesh into the blender. Rinse the kale leaves, remove the stems, and roughly chop them.
Add Ingredients to Blender: In the blender, add the chopped kale, avocado, lemon juice, ripe dates, and water. Add ice as well.
½ Avocado, ½ cup Kale, 2 tsp Lemon Juice, 2-3 Ripe Dates, 1 cup Water, Ice
Blend: Blend on high speed until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth and creamy for about 45 seconds. If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more water to reach your desired consistency.
Taste and Adjust: Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness if needed. If you want it sweeter, consider adding another date or a splash of date syrup.
Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately. For an extra refreshment, you can garnish with a sprig of fresh mint or a slice of lemon.
