Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 1 ounce dates
- 1 cup orange juice
- 2-4 cups spinach
- 1 cup ice
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (I prefer Dutch-processed)
- 2 tablespoons protein powder (optional, I prefer hemp protein) (optional)
Directions
1
Blend all ingredients well. If you have a very powerful blender, such as the Vitamix, you can simply blend for one minute. If you have a standard blender, blend for one minute, stop, push any stray spinach down into the smoothie mixture, then blend for another 2 minutes, or until smooth.2
Pour into a glass and enjoy!

A tasty and sneaky way to get leafy greens into the kiddos. Though I chopped them up, my blender didn't do a very good job with the dates. So I tried it again with no dates and two bananas. Not as sweet, obviously. But I was surprised at how much the dates had accentuated the cocoa. For the banana version, I doubled the cocoa. Reviewed for Healthy Choices ABC Tag.

Liked it! For how healthy this is, it tastes good! I didn't use protein powder but would next time to add a little more sweetness. Made for My 3 Chefs.
