- 1 handful baby spinach
- 2 pitted dates

Notes
- If you aren’t on a vegan diet, you can replace the coconut milk with full-fat dairy milk.
- To make this recipe vegan, be sure to use a vegan protein powder like pea protein.
- If you don’t have a high-speed blender, you may need to stop the blender and scrape down the sides to ensure that the ingredients get fully blended.
- To make this vanilla-flavored instead of chocolate, leave out the cocoa powder and add ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract instead.
