Smoothie of the Week: Cherry-Choco-Banana-Berry-licious Smoothie



Today's smoothie is super-delicious and full of super antioxidant zing....  I ordinarily don't use processed juices in my smoothies, just as I don't often (maybe once or twice a year) use dairy yogurt.  This is definitely on the "treat" list-- maybe a smoothie to serve when your mother-in-law is visiting?  As I have said before, if it is too difficult to digest, be sure to take your full-spectrum enzymes before, during or after you drink the smoothie.  Enjoy!

1/2 C. organic baby spinach
1/2 cup fresh Almond milk (10 soaked almonds & water in blender)
1/2 cup cherry- pomegranate juice (or one or the other)
1 tablespoon Free-Trade organic cocoa powder, not Dutch processed
1 cup frozen cherries
1 banana
1 cup frozen blueberries
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons chia gel (1/4 C. chia seeds in 1 qt. water)
