Potassium Powerhouse Smoothie

3 bananas**, ripe but not overripe
10 deglet noor dates (smaller than Medjool)
1 cup of beet greens*, small part of stems are fine

Put bananas in first into high speed blender then dates and then greens.  Blend on high until smooth.  Fine to have some chunks of dates.  I prefer actually. 

*Top 5 list of potassium rich foods are tomatoes, o.j., beet greens, beans and dates - in that order. 

** Keeping sweet fruit away from acid fruit like tomatoes and oranges.  Seems that sub-acid (like blueberries and mango) goes with all.  Melons should be on their own.
