Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond milk (8 oz.; or any other milk)
  • 3 large Medjool dates , pitted (61 grams)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (2 grams)
  • 1 cup frozen strawberries (6 oz; 167 grams)
  • handful of ice cubes

Instructions

  • Combine the almond milk, dates, and vanilla in a high-speed blender, and blend until the dates are completely broken down. (If you don't have a powerful blender, you may want to soak the dates in the almond milk for 20 minutes to help them soften.)

Nutrition information is for the whole batch, and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
If you don't have dates on hand, you can use 1 to 2 tablespoons of maple syrup instead.
