Ingredients

  • 2 Bananas ripe
  • 40 g Medjool dates (pitted) (I use large organic medjool dates - 40g pitted dates is approx 2 large dates)
  • ½ tsp Chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoon Almond butter
  • 4 Walnuts 4
  • 2 cups Water
  • Ice 1 large cube (or 3-4 small cubes)

Instructions

  • Add ingredients into the blender. Add water, bananas, pitted dates, almond butter, chia seeds, walnuts and ice to the blender.
  • Blend into a smoothie. Secure lid firmly onto the blender and blend on high speed (or using the juice setting) for 1 minute, or until smooth. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

    1. Use ripe bananas – this brings sweetness and flavor to this smoothie.
    2. Remove pits before adding dates into blender – As dates have pits (seeds), it is important to make sure the dates are pitted before using them, you can either buy pitted dates or pit the dates yourself. To pit the dates – use your thumbs and index fingers to gently pinch the sides of the date (lengthwise) – once you see the pit (seed) remove and set aside.
    3. Add ice – this will cool down the temperature of the smoothie (as the motor of the blender can warm up when used).
