Date Smoothie Recipe Notes
This makes for a deliciously creamy green breakfast smoothie. If you wish your smoothie to be a little lighter and frostier, add an additional 1/4 cup of ice to the blender (1/2 cup total).
The sweetness of the smoothie comes from the banana and the dates. Be sure to use a very ripe banana.
Dried Medjool dates can come in various degrees of "dryness." Some are moist and plump, while others can be much drier. If you find your dates are quite dry or stale, consider soaking them in water to bring back the moisture, which will help with the blending process.
