Calories: 213kcal
Ingredients
- 1 Banana
- 3 Medjool dates
- 250 ml Skim milk
- 2 tablespoon 0% Fat Free Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Put all of the ingredients into a blender.
- Blend until smooth.
Notes
- You can thicken this smoothie up, and make it cooler, but blending some ice cubes with the rest of the ingredients.
- Using a high powdered blender will give you the smoothest results possible.
- To add some extra fibre to this banana date smoothie, you can blend in some chia seeds, hemp seeds or flax seeds.
- Add some healthy fats by blending in some nut butter. Almond butter, peanut butter or cashew butter all work well. You can use sunflower seed butter too.
- If you aren't using Medjool dates, or if your dates are a little older and not as soft, then you blender might struggle to blend it all up. You will need to soften your dates in some hot water first and then drain.
- Why not sprinkle some chocolate chips on top before serving?
- If your smoothie is too thick, then add a little more milk and blend again until it is the desired consistency.
