Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 Cup Almond Milk

  • 1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1/4 Teaspoon Nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Blend: Add the frozen banana, Medjool dates, shredded coconut, vanilla Greek yogurt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and almond milk into a blender.
  2. Combine: Blend on high until all ingredients are fully combined into a smooth, creamy consistency.
  3. Scrape: If needed, pause the blender and remove the lid to scrape down the sides with a spatula to reincorporate any ingredients stuck to the blender walls.
  4. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately. This recipe makes one large smoothie or two normal-sized servings.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute the vanilla Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt like coconut or almond yogurt.
  • Use frozen banana to ensure a creamy, chilled texture without needing to add ice.
  • Medjool dates add natural sweetness and fiber, making additional sweeteners unnecessary.
  • Adjust spices according to your taste preference for cinnamon and nutmeg.
  • This smoothie is best consumed fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours and stirred before serving.
