I usually don’t add a Medjool date, but if you need a little more sweet to temper the greens, go for it!

Banana-Cacao Green Smoothie

Serves 1 to 2

1 medium-ripe banana
3 cups greens, ideally, wild arugula
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon organic raw cacao nibs
*I recommend Navitas Organics Cacao Nibs
2 tablespoons organic flaxseed, then grind
*Measure out 2 tablespoons whole flaxseed, then grind
Optional: 1/2 to 1 Medjool date (depending on your tolerance for
sweetness)
1-3/4 cup water

Add all ingredients to a Nutribullet and pulse until creamy and smooth.
