Servings:
24 oz.I don’t know why I’ve been craving bananas and dates these last few days (yeah they’re really good for me and the baby but they are all I want to eat!) I wouldn’t call this a smoothie, more like a thick milk. Since we’ve had a small shortage of raw almonds in the market I gave in and used cow’s milk. I’m sure it would have been tastier with nut milk though. This filled me right up and baby was even bouncier (is that a word?) after I finished. I guess she liked it too.
Ingredients:
5 Majool Dates, Pitted and halved
3 Small Bananas, Broken into peices
1½ cup Milk (Nut or cow), Ice cold
1 Tray of small ice cubes
Preparation:
This is how I did it (because my blender is a tad on the weak side.. if you got a vitamix you can just throw it all in and enjoy it faster)
1 Pitted and halved the dates and put them in the blender
2 Added the milk
3 Blended till there were no more chunks
4 Removed the date milk and added all the ice cubes
5 Added the bananas
6 Added the milk back
7 Pulse till ice is pretty broken then blend on high till smooth
- You can also add cinnamon if you like but I forgot
