Banana Date Smoothie
A Banana Date Smoothie is a naturally sweet, creamy, and nutritious drink packed with fiber, potassium, and healthy fats. It’s made with yogurt for gut-friendly probiotics. If you prefer no dairy, you can use dairy-free yogurt and dairy-free milk. You can add a scoop of protein powder for extra protein! For more delicious recipes with dates, try these chocolate covered dates with peanut butter!
Hi there, I’m Heather! I’m a dietitian and the founder of www.heatherkjones.com – a weight loss site that focuses on healing and hope instead of diets (ugh) and deprivation (no thank you!). I’m also the creator of Feel Better Eat Better, an online group coaching program for women who struggle with emotional eating, compulsive overeating, or body image issues.
I’m thrilled to guest post on Skinnytaste today (thank you, Gina!), and I’m so honored to be the nutrition expert in the upcoming Skinnytaste cookbook. Gina poured her generous heart into this beautiful book and I know you’re going to love it as much as I do!
So I’m a huge fan of green smoothies, in fact I drink a Green Monster at least a few times a week. But on a recent trip to Bali I discovered a banana smoothie that just blew me away.
The simple combo of banana, dates, yogurt, honey, ice, and (surprise!) cinnamon, makes a refreshing and tasty concoction, especially for sipping on steamy days. I drank one of these delicious smoothies every morning before heading to the pool or biking thru the rice paddies.
Here’s to a healthy and happy summer. Enjoy!
