Notes
• Use ripe bananas for sweetness and a smoother texture.
• Check every date for a remaining pit before blending. If the dates are firm or dry, soak them in warm water until softened, then drain.
• Date sizes and sweetness vary. Start with three of the specified dates, taste, and add the fourth if desired.
• Unsweetened, unflavored plant-based milk lets the banana, dates, and cinnamon remain the main flavors.
• If the smoothie is too thick, add a little more milk and blend again. Additional milk changes the serving volume and nutrition.
• Add optional ice only if your blender is suitable for crushing it, and serve immediately.
