This refreshing, healthy smoothie can be found in Dr. Neal Barnard's telling book, "The Cheese Trap", with recipes from vegan cookbook author, Dreena Burton. 

• 1 1/2 cups plain or vanilla nondairy milk, or more to thin if desired
• 1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries
• 1 cup sliced overripe banana (frozen or fresh)
• 1 cup baby spinach leaves (optional)
• 1 - 2 T hemp seeds
• 1 T pure maple syrup (optional, to sweeten, if desired)

Note:  While you can use other berries here, know that the green of the spinach will only be camouflaged with the blueberries. If using red berries like strawberries or raspberries, the color will turn a brownish hue. I go for the blueberries in this smoothie!!!!
