Ingredients Needed

• Medjool dates: Any type of date works, but I prefer Medjool dates for their extra sweetness.
• Nut butter: Choose your favourite for added protein. I opted for peanut butter because I enjoy the flavour in this date smoothie recipe.
• Frozen banana: Prep ahead by freezing a peeled banana (make sure to cut it in half too so it’s easy to blend later) in a freezer bag overnight. This adds creaminess without needing ice.
• Jumbo oats: Opt for organic jumbo oats for the healthiest and least processed option.
• Ceylon cinnamon: Healthier and safer than regular cinnamon, I recommend Ceylon cinnamon for its flavour and benefits. HERE is the one I use.
• Chia seeds
• Ground flax seeds
• Milk: I used full-fat milk, but you can use any type, such as unsweetened almond milk.

How To Make The Best Date Smoothie Recipe

• Put all your ingredients in the blender. If your dates are dry or your blender isn’t strong enough, check below for tips on blending dates.
• Blend everything until it’s creamy and smooth, like a perfect smoothie. Then, pour it into a cup.
• That’s it! Enjoy your delicious date smoothie!

Why Are My Dates Not Blending?

If your dates are hard or dry, or if you don’t have a powerful blender, there’s an easy fix. Simply soak the dates in hot water for 10-15 minutes after removing the seeds. This softens them up and makes blending easier.

• Healthy Ferrero Rocher
• Pecan Pie Bites
• Date Snickers

Other Ingredients You Can Add To Your Banana Date Smoothie Recipe

• Spinach or kale: Adding leafy greens like spinach or kale provides extra vitamins, minerals, and fiber without overpowering the flavor.
• Greek yogurt: These add creaminess and a boost of protein to the smoothie while also providing probiotics for gut health.
• Almond butter or cashew butter: These alternatives to peanut butter can add richness and nutty flavor to the smoothie.
• Unsweetened cocoa powder: For chocolate lovers, adding cocoa powder can create a delicious chocolatey flavour and adds antioxidants to the smoothie.
• Hemp seeds or pumpkin seeds: These seeds are packed with protein, healthy fats, and essential nutrients.
• Frozen fruit such as berries: Provides additional vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
• Honey or maple syrup: If you prefer a sweeter taste, adding a small amount of honey or pure maple syrup can complement the natural sweetness of the dates without it being too sweet.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Satisfying: Perfect for those who want a refreshing, filling, and nutritious option, especially if you’re not keen on eating in the morning.
• Breakfast on the Go: Ideal for busy mornings when you don’t have time to sit down for breakfast. Pack it in a flask or cup to enjoy on the move. Note: If you prefer a smoother texture, you can skip adding oats or add less of it as it will thicken it if you have it later on.
• Nutritional Goodness: Packed with fiber, protein, healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals from ingredients like jumbo oats, chia seeds, flax seeds, and milk, making it a wholesome choice for a meal or snack.
• Customizable: Easily adjust the recipe to your taste. Add spinach for extra greens, cocoa powder for chocolate flavor, or yogurt for creaminess. Check above for more ideas.
• Naturally Sweet: Sweetened with dates, avoiding the need for refined sugars!
