I recently came up with this simple smoothie recipe which I now enjoy on a regular basis. I often feel like both chocolate and greens – this smoothie provides a nice way for me to combine both.
Special Equipment
- Blender (A high-powered blender like a Vita-mix is ideal.)
Ingredients
- 3 organic medjool dates soaked about 10 to 20 minutes in 2 cups of filtered water.
- 2-3 cups loosely packed organic spinach greens
- 1 Tbsp of organic cacao powder
- 2-3 Tbsp of organic hemp seed hearts
Directions
- Add all the ingredients, including the date soak water to the blender and blend until smooth.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
To vary the sweetness of the recipe, try adding or subtracting the number of organic dates. This will probably be necessary if you use a different variety of date than medjools. Note that if you’re using a high-powered blender, soaking the dates is not really necessary. You can add more or less water to vary the desired thickness of the smoothie.
Please share your modifications and improvements to the recipe in the comments section of this post (chocolate spinach smoothie recipe).
Looks like a really interested combination of food (chocolate and spinach particularly). I’ll give it a try!
