Awesome green smoothies!!

My kids beg for this. They call it "a green banana." Put these items in your Vita-mix (or regular blender, if it can hack it) in this order.

1/2 cup white grape or apple juice
2 medium ripe bananas
3 pitted dates OR 1 to 2 tsp. blue agave nectar (optional for extra sweetness)
1 good-sized grab of baby spinach leaves
1 cup of ice cubes

Blend until smooth, add extra ice or juice as needed to get the consistency you want.

This is a great way to get a healthy serving of both fruit and green veggies. Enjoy!
