1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
2–3 Medjool dates, pitted
1 banana (frozen preferred)
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
¼ cup Greek yogurt (optional)
Ice cubes (as needed)
Gather Ingredients: Start by collecting all the ingredients listed above. Ensure your dates are pitted and your banana is frozen if you’re using one.
Add Ingredients to Blender: In your blender, add the almond milk followed by the dates, banana, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt (if using).
Blend Smoothly: Start on low speed and gradually increase to high, blending until the mixture is smooth and creamy, usually 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Taste and Adjust: Take a quick taste test! If you’d like it sweeter, add an extra date or sweetener of choice.
Serve: Pour your smoothie into a glass or a to-go cup. Add ice cubes if desired, or enjoy it immediately cold and creamy.
Garnish (Optional): Top with nuts, seeds, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor if you’re feeling fancy.
