INGREDIENTS

• BOTANISTRY BOOSTING AMBERS, 2 teaspoons
• Medjool dates, 12 (pitted)
• Rolled oats, 1 cup
• Almonds, ½ cup

• Lemon juice, 4 tablespoons
• Lemon zest, ½ teaspoon

METHOD

1. Soak the dates in hot water for 10 minutes. Once the dates are soft, place them in a blender. Save the leftover date water.
