Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 3–4 Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 cup milk of choice (almond, oat, cow’s milk, etc.)
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt (optional)
  • A pinch of cinnamon (optional)
  • A handful of ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Peel the ripe banana and pit the Medjool dates. Measure 1 cup of your preferred milk and optionally prepare ¼ cup of Greek yogurt for added creaminess.
  2. Blend Smoothly: Add the banana, dates, milk, yogurt, cinnamon (if using), and ice cubes into a blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, about 30-60 seconds depending on your blender.
  3. Adjust Consistency: If too thick, add more milk gradually and blend again until you reach your desired pourable texture. For a sweeter or thicker smoothie, add more dates or banana accordingly.
  4. Serve Immediately: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy fresh for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and creamy texture.
  • Soak dates in warm water for 10 minutes if they are dry to soften them for easier blending.
  • Add ice last to ensure a smooth, icy texture without watering down the smoothie.
  • Customize the amount of liquid gradually to control thickness.
  • Prepare and store peeled bananas and pitted dates ahead of time to speed up preparation.
