Kale, Apricot, Strawberry & Raw Honey Shake
Tasting Notes
This is a great drink for the beginning of summer. The acidity of the apricots and strawberries go well together and they pair well with the bitterness of kale. The lemon cuts the kale's bitterness and we add raw honey for desired sweetness which balances out the whole drink.

Halve the Citrus and Score a Cross in Each Half 1 Minutes
Lay the citrus on the cutting board. Slice perpendicular to the core and lay each half on the cutting board with the flesh facing upwards. Score a slice vertically and horizontally in each half. Scoring means cutting slits across the flesh. We score it to cut the rind so it squeezes more easily.
