Ingredients for Banana Date Shake

  • Soymilk
  • 1/2 cup pitted dates
  • 2 ripe bananas

How to Make Banana Date Shake

  1. Add 2 ripe bananas, 1/2 cup pitted dates, 1 cup plant-based milk (almond, soy, or oat milk work well), 1/4 cup water, and a pinch of salt to a high-speed blender.
  2. Blend until completely smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary. Add more dates for extra sweetness, or a squeeze of lemon juice for a tangy twist.
  4. For a thinner shake, add more plant-based milk, 1/4 cup at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
  5. Pour into a glass and enjoy immediately! Garnish with extra dates, banana slices, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
