Green Smoothie: "You Are My Sunshine"

I wanted something that would taste fresh, but also kind of "warm" (for a cold smoothie) and comforting on this somewhat chilly morning. This is hitting the spot.

You Are My Sunshine Green Smoothie
• About 2 cups washed spinach leaves
• generous handful of fresh parsley
• 4 or 5 baby carrots (I had a bunch of those pre-peeled and bagged ones for a party) or one regular carrot, peeled and diced
• 1/2 to 3/4 cup frozen or fresh mango
• 3 dates
• 1 slice lemon, including peel
• 1 slice peeled fresh ginger root
• 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 1/2 to 2 cups soy milk or other milk of your choice

Blend everything together in blender, going from low to high setting, until it is smooth and delightfully green!
