This is a smoothie I tried from Dr. Fuhrman. You will never believe how good this is!!! I couldn't believe it. Give it a try even if it seems a little weird!
1 bag of spinach
1 bag frozen blueberries
a couple of tablespoons flaxmeal
a few dates
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
soymilk (I used vanilla, I think he uses unsweetened)
a banana (I actually put in two because I was unsure how it would taste, I think one would be just fine though)
Put it all in a food processor and blend til smooth. It's so good. I made this drink because I was so sick of eating salad, but I still needed to eat some greens that day. Next time I do it, I'm going to soften the dates by putting them in a little water and boiling it for a few minutes and then pureeing them first. This way I won't have so many chunks of dates in it. It was hard to drink with a straw with the date pieces.
Here's another one I haven't tried yet:
spinach
kiwi
avocado
pineapple banana
I hope to try it soon, but if you do first let me know how it tastes.

I'm excited to try this one. Mom mentioned to me that flaxmeal doesn't really absorb into your body unless it's soaked first, so I was thinking, if you soak the flax with the dates then it'll be more healthy and more yummy as well. Just a thought...I have no research whatsoever to back that one up. Cheerio!
