"Date with Fate" Tropical Smoothies
Description
This smoothie recipe relies on preparing ingredients in advance by freezing coconut milk portioned into cubes, and dicing mango, papaya, and banana to the size of the coconut milk cubes before freezing as well. The dates are pitted and the macadamia nuts are roasted, adding layers of texture and natural sweetness.
To make each smoothie, frozen fruit and coconut milk cubes are combined with macadamia nuts, several dates, and rice milk. Blending these ingredients produces a thick, smooth beverage with tropical flavors complemented by the creamy coconut and crunchy nuts. The natural sugars from the dates provide sweetness without added sugars.
These smoothies provide a tropical, nutrient-rich option that can be prepared in advance and quickly blended when desired. The use of frozen ingredients keeps them chilled and thick without watering down the flavor as ice cubes might.
Ingredients
- 2 cans coconut milk 14-ounce cans, lite unsweetened
- 2 Mango ripe
- 2 papaya ripe
- 3 banana
- 1 pound macadamia nuts roasted
- 30 dates

Instructions
- Shake the cans of coconut milk to mix. Then pour the coconut milk into two ice cube trays (standard ice cube trays with 16 cubes per tray.) Place in the freezer.
- Cut a small slit in each date and remove the pit. Peel and cut the bananas into chunks the same size as the coconut ice cubes.
- Peel, seed, and chop the mangoes and papayas into chunks the size of the coconut ice cubes.
- Place all items, including the macadamia nuts, into zip bags and place in the freezer, until frozen solid. Keep the rice milk in the fridge.
- For EACH smoothie, place in the blender: 3 coconut milk cubes, 2 mango chunks, 2 papaya chunks, 1 banana chunk, 1/4 cup macadamia nuts, 3 dates, 1 cup rice milk. Puree until smooth and thick.
