Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 Banana (medium to large)
- ½ to ¾ cup walnuts (½ cup for medium sized banana and ¾ cup for a large one)
- 3 to 5 pitted Medjool dates (adjust according to desired sweetness)
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend for at least one minute, or until the smoothie is very smooth and creamy, then serve.
- 👉 Dates can be tough and fibrous, which makes blending into a creamy smoothie tricky. For the best texture, use soft Medjool dates, or soak drier dates in the milk for at least 30 minutes before blending.

Notes
Blender: Use a high-speed blender like Vitamix, or budget-friendly options like Breville or NutriBullet for single-serve smoothies.
Vegan: Swap in plant-based milk like almond milk.
Dates: Use soft, plump Medjool dates. If using firmer Noor dates, soak them in milk first.
Blend well: Blend for at least one minute to get a smooth, creamy texture.
