Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 16 pitted dates
  • 24 ounces low fat yogurt (whole milk yogurt or non-fat yogurt work too)
  • 5 Tbsp almond butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon or cardamom
  • 1/2 cup milk (to thin, if needed)

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients to Blender: Place the pitted dates, low fat yogurt, almond butter, vanilla bean paste or extract, and cinnamon or cardamom into a blender. Using a high-powered blender like a Vitamix is ideal to ensure smooth blending.
  2. Blend Until Smooth: Blend all ingredients thoroughly. You may need to stop the blender once or twice to scrape down the sides or use the tamper to incorporate all ingredients evenly. If the smoothie is too thick, gradually add milk to achieve your desired consistency.
  3. Taste and Adjust: After blending, taste the smoothie and adjust flavors if needed, such as adding more cinnamon or vanilla to suit your preference.
  4. Serve: Pour the smoothie into chilled glasses and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute cinnamon with cardamom according to your taste preference.
  • Use whole milk or non-fat yogurt if you prefer, both work well.
  • Adjust milk quantity to get your desired smoothie thickness.
  • For a colder smoothie, consider chilling the dates or adding ice cubes before blending.
  • This smoothie is naturally sweetened with dates, so no additional sugar is needed.
