Description
I love a good smoothie recipe and incorporating some new ingredients is always fun! This smoothie has subtle hints of chocolate, creamy tahini and a burst of blueberry flavor. Everything blends so well together with natural sweetness of dates.

Notes
- If you don't have riced cauliflower, feel free to add more blueberries or another frozen fruit of your choice

- Medjool dates are my preference but any dates will work
- Add maple syrup or honey to sweeten to your taste if needed
