5–7 Medjool dates (pitted)
1-inch piece of fresh ginger root (peeled and sliced)
1 cup warm water or plant-based milk (for blending)
Optional: 1 tsp lemon juice or a pinch of cinnamon for extra digestive support
Preparation
1. Soak the dates
Place pitted dates in warm water for about 10–15 minutes to soften them.
2. Blend ingredients
Add soaked dates, ginger slices, and 1 cup of water into a blender. Blend until smooth. You may strain for a smoother texture, but keeping the pulp adds more fiber.
3. Drink and enjoy
Consume this cleansing drink in the morning on an empty stomach for best results. You can also enjoy it warm like tea.
