Ingredients

  • 3 cup raw baby spinach leaves (or 2 cups frozen chopped spinach, or frozen chopped collard greens)
  • 1 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries (no syrup or sugar added)
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoon Water

Preparation

Baking Directions:

If using raw spinach, thoroughly wash it, even if the package says “prewashed.”

Bring spinach or collards and water to boil in a medium pot.

Turn heat to low and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.

If using frozen blueberries, quickly rinse them under cold water to thaw a little, and then drain.

Fill the bowl of your food processor with the blueberries and cooked spinach, (or collards) along with the lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of water, and puree on high until as smooth as possible.

Stop occasionally to push top contents to bottom.

If necessary, add the rest of the water to make a fairly smooth puree.

This amount of spinach and blueberries makes only about 1 cup of puree.

Double the recipe if you want to store another cup of the puree.

It will store in the refrigerator up to 2 days, or you can freeze 1/4 cup portions in sealed plastic bags or small plastic containers.

Combine this purple egg mixture with the cooled chocolate mixture.
