Spinach Smoothie

• 14 cup flax seed
• 1 cup natural almonds (not roasted or salted)
• 1 cup hemp protein powder
• 5 cups baby organic spinach
• 5 -7 pitted dates
• 4 bananas
• 2 cups fresh pineapple
• 3 -4 cups frozen blueberries
• water

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. Make sure blender is dry and add flaxseeds and grind them up to a powder then add almonds and do the same.
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. Run through the whole juice cycle twice to make sure the dates are pureed.
5. Each cycle is 45 seconds long.
6. Pour the contents into 4-quart sized containersthey should each be about 2/3 full.
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. Blend up the blueberries with some water and mix into the quart containers.
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.
10. This will keep for about 2-3 days in the fridge but freezes well if you need to store it longer.
