Equipment
- 1 Blender
Ingredients
- ½ cup medjool dates
- ½ cup milk I used almond milk
- 1½ cup frozen yogurt vanilla
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon ground
- ⅛ teaspoon salt optional
Instructions
- Begin by soaking your pitted dates in milk (I used almond milk) for about 10 minutes. This helps to soften them and infuse their caramel-like flavor into your drink.
- Add dates, milk, cinnamon and frozen yogurt to your blender. I recommend a pinch of salt, but this is optional.
- Blend and pulse until smooth. You will still see specs of dark brown date in your smoothie, but there should be no chunks. Once you have a smooth texture, you are ready to pour it into a glass and serve.
- Serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
- Not every grocery store carries medjool dates, but most do. If you are having trouble finding them, try a health food store.
- The frozen yogurt can be swapped for vanilla Greek yogurt or ice cream for either a healthier or a more indulgent version.
- Sprinkle the top with cinnamon for even more flavor.
