Scale
- 2 ripe frozen bananas
- 1.5 cups milk
- 2-3 Madjool date
- 1.5 tablespoons tahini
- Crushed toasted almonds (optional)
Instructions

Notes
- Use Frozen Bananas: For a thicker and creamier smoothie, use frozen bananas. They not only add a nice texture but also make the smoothie colder without the need for ice cubes.
- Experiment with Spices: Try adding a pinch of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom to enhance the flavor profile of your smoothie.
- Boost the Protein: If you want to make your smoothie more filling, consider adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder.
- Toasted Almonds: To toast almonds, place a handful of raw almonds under the broiler for 3-5 minutes, and stir them after 3 minutes to toast evenly, once cooled, chop with a sharp knife. Use about 1 teaspoon and keep the leftover in a jar in the fridge.
- If your blender is not high-speed, you can soften the dates by soaking them in hot water for 15 minutes.
