Housemate's spinach berry smoothie

This is the easiest and best tasting housemate smoothie with spinach in it (the spinach-mango is as good but too green-looking for housemate). This makes two 16-oz smoothies.

Ingredients:
1 bag frozen sweet cherries
1 bag frozen berries (blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, or mixed)
1 bag (5 oz) spinach
1-2 Tbsp date syrup or date sugar or 1-2 dates (or more or less, to taste)
1/2 cup grape or cherry juice; or 1 cup grapes
1 banana (optional)
fresh figs (in season)
2-4 Tbsp seeds (flax, sunflower, hemp, chia) or walnuts

Blend the supplements, seeds, juice, dates, and spinach until smooth. Add the berries and water and blend again until smooth.

I often make 6-8 of these on weekends, cover with aluminum foil, freeze, and then take one out every night to thaw in the fridge for brekky. Here's the production line for the big batch:
