The ingredients you will need:
Bananas-is going to give this shake its creamy and smooth texture. Try to use speckled ripe bananas for the sweetest date shake.
Dates- this oval fruit is not only going to add additional sweetness, but it’s also going to add natural fiber, vitamins, and protein.
Almond milk- will add silk and will be the base to this shake. Feel free to use your favorite milk.
Setting some of the “shake” aside for dipping the rim of the glass right before encrusting it in hemp seeds will surely take your drinking experience to another special level.
Which dates are the best?
All dates are delicious. Though when traveling through the grocery store, there are usually a few brands of dates and types to choose from.
Whichever one you choose, make sure the dates are smooth, plump, and have shiny skin. Avoid those that are too shriveled and contain sugar crystals on the skin. This is a clear sign of old dates.
