Introduction
Spinach, blueberries, whole wheat, and chocolate....and they are good...who knew? by sneaky chef. It looks complicated but really isn't. It is less time consuming if you make the puree in advance. I gave the full recipes for the mixtures which are intended to be used in several recipes. If you only want to make it for this one recipe you will want to adjust accordingly.
