Clean. Wash all the fresh ingredients and pit the dates; then measure your ingredients with measuring spoons and/or cups.
Blend. Add everything into a high-speed blender.
Adjust. For a thicker smoothie, add more ripe pear or frozen banana. For a thinner smoothie, add more plant milk or water (it will affect sweetness). Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more dates or bananas for sweetness and more plant milk or spinach for creaminess.
Serve Cold. Smoothie leftovers will be kept in a covered mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, though best when fresh.

Notes

Add spirulina powder for extra protein without adding many calories. This might change the flavor of your smoothie drastically as the chlorophyll flavor is intense.

Nutrition facts are calculated, including the protein powder.

The protein powder accounts for 86 calories, 0 carbohydrates, and 15 grams of protein per serving.

Add agave or maple syrup for extra sweetness or extra dates. We like using dates because they have a ton of beneficial post-workout benefits.
