Notes
- Instead of dates, try this smoothie with a ripe banana. Bananas are much more distinctive, but they make a tasty variation. If you use frozen bananas, you may need to add a bit more liquid to get the smoothie to blend well.
- Add a pinch or cinnamon or cardamom for another yummy variation.
- Make it a green smoothie by adding a handful of spinach or baby kale. It's yummy but don't be surprised by the brown color that red and green makes in a smoothie.
