In hectic times, a few minutes to whip up a substantial smoothie full of greens is the difference between a great day and an epic struggle. I choose great day!!!

This super-quick green smoothie is creamy and a perfect end-of-week, ripe fruit treat.

Banana Avocado Breakfast Smoothie

• 4 soft dates
• a handful of kale or other raw, organic greens
• two small ripe bananas (or one large)
• a ripe medium avocado (or half a large)
• 2 cups of water
• a bit of ice

Blend in a powerful blender for 45 seconds to a minute…or use softer greens like spinach in your average blender….until creamy and smooth.  Don’t over-mix or it will whip into cream.  If its too dense, add more water and blend for a second.

Enjoy! xoxo Dana
