Ingredients

  • 2 large bananas cut into chunks and frozen (about 2 cups sliced)
  • 4 pitted Medjool Dates
  • 1 tablespoon almond butter or peanut butter plus additional to taste
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk or milk of choice
  • Small handful ice cubes optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the banana, dates, almond butter, vanilla extract, and almond milk in a high powered blender (if you do not have a high-powered blender, I recommend blending the milk and half of the frozen fruit first, then slowly adding the rest of the fruit and remaining ingredients).
  2. Blend until smooth. If you would like the shake a bit thicker, add a few ice cubes and blend again. Taste and add additional almond butter if you'd like the shake a little richer or another date if you'd like it sweeter. Pour and enjoy!

Notes

  • TO STORE: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 1 day. To thicken it up again, reblend the mixture with more frozen fruit, ice, or dates.
  • TO FREEZE: Freeze the date shake in an airtight, freezer-safe storage container for up to 1 month. Let thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
