Chocolate Orange Green Smoothie - cooking recipe

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)

Preparation

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.
Pour into a glass and enjoy!
