Hey again, I hope you’re having a great day so far.
Anyone feel like a milkshake? What if it’s a good-for-you milkshake made with just a few ingredients???
This shake is a little quickie that I wanted to share. I realized that you guys have busy lives too so you’re probably all over the easiness of this date shake as much as I am.
It’s the perfect thing when you’re in the mood for a little ice cream or even those emergencies when you’re majorly craving that big-as-yo-face! milkshake (you know it happens). Basically it’s just an extra creamy and decadent smoothie and the bulk of it consists of good things like coconut milk, frozen bananas, and of course dates! But speaking of the frozen bananas, you’re definitely going to want to use frozen if you want the thickest and most indulgent feeling shake possible. You could even throw the date in the freezer for a bit if you want it that much colder.
Other than that, this is just so fast and simple. With all the sweetness from the dates and nanners you may even find that it’s sweet enough without adding any additional sweetness so you can try it without first and then adjust it to your taste. I’d love to know what you think or any fun variations you might do, let me know in the comments!
