Notes
- TO STORE: Store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator (the less air, then better!) for up to 1 day. Stir or shake the jar to recombine, then enjoy.
- FOR VEGAN/DAIRY-FREE: Use your favorite non-dairy yogurt in place of Greek yogurt.
- TIP: If you do not have a high-powered blender, I recommend cutting the dates into quarters with a sharp knife before adding them to your blender.
