Ingredients

Shake Ingredients

  • 1 Frozen Banana
  • ¾ Cup Raw Cashews (soaked for extra creaminess)
  • 6 Large Medjool Dates, pitted
  • ½ Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¼ Teaspoon Nutmeg
  • 1 Large Handful Ice Cubes
  • ¾ Cup Almond Milk
  • 1 Dollop Coconut Yogurt (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients: Place the frozen banana, soaked raw cashews, pitted Medjool dates, cinnamon, nutmeg, ice cubes, and almond milk into a high-speed blender, leaving out the coconut yogurt for now.
  2. Blend Smooth: Blend the mixture on high speed until completely smooth and creamy. If the blend is uneven, pause to remove the lid and scrape down the sides to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
  3. Serve: Pour the smoothie evenly into two glasses.
  4. Top and Enjoy: Add a dollop of coconut yogurt on top of each shake. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors and creamy texture.

  • Using a high-speed blender ensures a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Substitute almond milk with any plant-based milk of your choice for different flavor profiles.
  • Consume immediately for best taste and nutrient benefits.
