Purple Hawaiian Dream Smoothie Date Sweetened

Mysteriously seductive, packed with antioxidants and a symphony of plant-based nutrients, the purple hue comes from blueberries and cooked purple sweet potatoes or ube. Pineapple, coconut extract and ground ginger impart warm breezy tropical vibes, while vanilla and cardamom add delicate and beguiling floral notes. Whole dates make this smoothie lusciously sweet.
