Notes
- Skip the date if you want a less sweet smoothie.
- If your blender isn’t powerful, it might have a hard time blending the Medjool date. You can cut the it into small pieces. This will ensure there are no big chunks of date in your smoothie.
- Add a bit of milk and blend for 10 seconds if the smoothie is too thick.
- Smoothies are best enjoyed right after they’re made. To store leftovers, keep them in the refrigerator for 1-2 days in an airtight glass container. It’s normal for the ingredients to separate, so stir it before drinking.
