Chocolate Cherry Almond Smoothie -- GF, DF, V

Starting the day with a creamy bittersweet chocolate smoothie sure feels like a treat. Using frozen cauliflower is a nice way to sneak some veggies in first thing, plus it adds creaminess when blitzed.

Serves 1

• ⅓ C frozen cherries
• ⅓ C frozen cauliflower rice
• 1 date, pitted
• 1 Tbs almond butter
• 2 tsp raw cacao powder
• 1 tsp hemp seeds
• 1 tsp chia seeds
• 1 tsp ground flax seeds (do not use whole seeds)
• 1 handful of spinach (optional)
• 1 pinch sea salt
• About ½ C coconut or almond milk, to desired consistency

Combine all ingredients in a powerful blender and blend until smooth. Add more milk to thin if necessary.
