Chard Date Avocado Smoothie
Makes 1 12-ounce smoothie
This simple smoothie is a delicious pick-me-up. It’s creamy (thanks, avocado!) and sweet (thanks, dates!) and has just enough green to make it well-rounded and wholesome. Dates and cinnamon pack it with energy, and the avo adds good fat that will keep you workin’ it until lunch.

Instructions
Add everything but the ice to a blender and purée until smooth. Add 3-4 pieces of ice and blend again; you want to bring the temperature down, but not make things too slushy. Garnish with a good sprinkle of cinnamon.
