How to Make A Date With A Banana Smoothie

  1. Add pitted dates, sliced banana, milk, frozen berries, oats (if using), and chia seeds (if using) to a blender.
  2. Blend on high speed until completely smooth and creamy, adding a little more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  3. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately! Garnish with extra berries or a sprinkle of granola for added flair.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
