Date Smoothies

A smoothie with dates is mind-blowingly delicious. They are a great way to pack a lot of nutrition for patients, the perfect balance of cannabis and natural sweetness to start your day.

This smoothie is a real meal.  You can add peanut butter or a tablespoon of cocoa to suit your tastes. The last time I made this I put everything in the blender and kept it in the fridge overnight. Just a quick blending in the morning and I had a super awesome medicated breakfast!
