Chef A.J.'s Rockin' Smoothie

My daughter actually likes it! AND she knows it has spinach in it!

Vegan Chef Abbie Jaye presented this at the McDougall Vegan Celebrity Chef Weekend in Santa Rosa in June. These are not her exact measurements, but how I tend to throw it all in the blender. Blend well after each addition. This tends to make enough for two--or one very large one.

5-6 dates
1-2 cups fresh spinach

Blend like crazy...
I tell you no lies...
