While lemonade is a popular summertime beverage it can often be filled with sugars and calories, which is why the [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-forward-beverages) Kale'ade by [Honeydrop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honeydrop) provides a much healthier juice alternative. The blend is made using raw superfoods paired with cold pressed lemons and fruits to provide a beverage rich in vitamins and minerals.

Since lemonades can often be made using a significant amount of refined sugars, the Apple Kale'ade opts for a much more wholesome and healthy approach to the popular drink. The juice is made using a significant amount of [cold pressed vegetables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daily-greens-drink) such as kale and cucumber to provide iron, potassium and anti-inflammatory benefits. Fruits such as apple and lemons are then added to give the green juice a much sweeter taste that is similar to traditional lemonade.
