I was pleasantly surprised by this smoothie! I used four California pitted dates, about 3/4 cup of vanilla unsweetened almond milk, a rounded tablespoon of raw cacao powder a large handful of spinach, omitted the water, and I added a tablespoon of hemp protein powder. It's very rich and chocolately! I can't tell at all that there's spinach in it. And my hemp protein adds a nice nuttiness to it. Thank you, HighVibe! -
This is a good smoothie. I have been enjoying another smoothie recipe by this chef, Recipe #266414., but realized this morning that we had run out of orange juice so I decided to try this recipe. I omitted the water and instead used about 1 cup of ice to make this a frosty smoothie. I used 2 Medjool dates. I added 1/2 a frozen banana. Next time I may add an extra 1/2 T cocoa. Tasty! -
Wow! This is really good. I made it twice today so I could try it with carob powder too. I used cashew milk made in the style of Recipe #295198 and started with just that and the dates. Then I threw everything else in for a couple minutes. Yummy! Reviewed for Healthy Choices ABC tag.

I'm all about the healthy eating. I suffered from several eating disorders--from anorexia to bulimia to binge eating disorder--during my college years, and during the process of recovery have dedicated myself to learning about balancing healthy eating with social situations and junk food cravings. Check out my blog at highvibediet.com to learn more about the way of eating that's helped me get my life back on track...if you're in trouble, maybe it can help you too! (Or even if you're not in trouble, it would probably help you shed a few pounds, if you had weight to lose, or at least feel youthful and energetic everyday.)
