Ingredients
Ingredients
- 6 dates (pitted)
- 1 cup milk (dairy or alternative such as oat, almond, or coconut)
- 1 banana (preferably frozen)
- 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter (or regular peanut butter)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 5 ice cubes
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds or flax seeds (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Blend dates and milk: Pour half of the milk and all of the pitted dates into a blender. Blend until the dates are completely smooth and no chunks remain, creating a creamy base.
- Add remaining ingredients and blend: Add the banana, powdered peanut butter, ground cinnamon, ice cubes, and the remaining milk to the blender. Blend everything until perfectly smooth. Adjust the milk quantity if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Serve with seeds: Pour the smoothie into a glass, then top with chia seeds or flax seeds if using. Enjoy your nutrient-packed salted caramel smoothie!
Notes
- Use frozen banana to achieve a thicker, creamier texture.
- Powdered peanut butter reduces fat content but regular peanut butter can be used for richer flavor.
- Adjust milk type and quantity according to your dietary preferences and desired smoothie thickness.
- Adding chia or flax seeds boosts fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
- For a vegan option, use plant-based milk alternatives.
