Date Smoothie

Date shakes are a MUST when one is visiting Palm Springs, California. The combination of yogurt and dates is a delightful treat in the desert heat.

A DATE SMOOTHIE is another way to enjoy dates. I get my dates from Futterman Farms in Indio, California. I was introduced to the owner of the farm at my local farmer's market. Anyone can get the incredible dates from Futterman Farms as they do ship them to you!

Date Smoothie Ingredients (for 1 large glass or 2 small)

• 8 ounces of Almond Milk (you can use the milk of your choice)
• 1 ripe banana
• 1 TBSP sunflower butter (I use SunButter)
• 1 cup of dates (pitted and chopped)
• Date to garnish glass

Recipe:

• Add banana, 1/2 or the dates, and 1/2 of the milk to your food processor or VitaMix. Pulse to pulverize dates. 
• Add remaining dates and milk to combine 
• Add SunButter
• After everything is combined, pulse at HIGH SPEED for about 1 minute to add volume

Pour into a glass or two and garnish with a date.
