"I love the date water idea. I guess that means you soak the dates before you use them in other ways. Do you just keep the water in the refrigerator?"

Kristen replied to James Simmons's discussion Probiotic Smoothie

"I make a similar smoothie with home made kefir. It is wonderful! Is there something magical about the date water and the fruits you selected? Or just the yogurt?"
