Chocolate berry smoothie

Ingredients:

1 bag of frozen berries (cherries are good, so are raspberries or blueberries or strawberries)
1 banana (fresh or frozen)
2 dates
1 Tbsp cocoa powder
0-2 oz spinach (optional)
1/4 raw cashews (optional)
1 cup water

Blend the dates and cashews and some of the water in a high-powered blender until smooth.  Then add the other ingredients and blend some more.  Makes three 8 oz servings

This is my replacement for this chocolate shake for housemate to take into work.   She doesn't like spinach so I don't secretly put it in, but I recommend it for the rest of you.  It hardly changes the flavor and adds a lot of good nutrients.
