Spinach Smoothie

1. 1

   I have a blendtec blender that will grind up most anything--you can try this with a normal blender but the almonds and dates may not blend up as well.

2. 2

   Make sure blender is dry and add flaxseeds and grind them up to a powder then add almonds and do the same.

3. 3

   Add spinach, protein powder, and dates and then add water until you can see the water line 3/4 full in the container.

4. 4

   Run through the whole juice cycle twice to make sure the dates are pureed.

5. 5

   Each cycle is 45 seconds long.

6. 6

   Pour the contents into 4-quart sized containersthey should each be about 2/3 full.

7. 7

   Blend the bananas and pineapple with about a cup of water to keep things moving in the blender and add equally to the 4 containers.

8. 8

   Blend up the blueberries with some water and mix into the quart containers.

9. 9

   Ive also added, an avocado, strawberries, oranges or organic apples in place of the blueberries or if I dont have enough blueberriesjust to make enough to fill up the rest of the containers.

    This will keep for about 2-3 days in the fridge but freezes well if you need to store it longer.
