Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a glass and serve.
Notes
- pitted dates
- Use a frozen banana since it makes the smoothie extra creamy and cools it down so that you don't need to add ice. I always keep peeled, frozen bananas in my freezer to add to smoothies. If you don't have a frozen banana, add some ice cubes to the blender.
- Make sure to buy pitted dates or remove the pits yourself, otherwise you'll ruin your blender!
- Add an extra date if the smoothie is not sweet enough; you can also add a little honey or maple syrup.
- Add a tablespoon of flaxseed or chia seeds for a boost of nutrients.
- Add a scoop of protein powder for a boost of protein.
