Good news for sugar lovers who are trying to eat less sugar: there’s a magic sugar-lover’s fruit called Medjool Dates. And let me guess – you guys have been using them for years? Arriving a few years late to food trends — that’s how I like to roll.

Serves: 1-2
Recipe modified from: pinchofyum
Ingredients
- 1 large banana
- 1½ cups vanilla almond milk, unsweetened
- 3-4 Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
- 2 cups spinach
Instructions
- Puree everything together in a blender until very smooth. There should be no flecks of spinach or small pieces of dates left - everything should be incorporated and smooth. Serve immediately.
Notes
Other optional tips:
1. Add some ice to the blender.
2. Make it thicker by using yogurt.
3. Add different fruits (my faves are mango and peach because they don't mess up the green color of the smoothie).
4. Add chia seeds, honey, flax, protein powder, etc.
