Method

1
Peel the bananas and tear them into chunks.
2
Slice each date open and remove the pit.
3
Add the bananas, dates, and 1 cup of water (or coconut water) to the blender.
4
Blend on high until completely smooth.
5
Taste and check the texture. Add a splash more liquid and blend again if you want it thinner.
6
Pour into glasses and enjoy right away.

Storage

Best fresh. Keep leftovers in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours and shake well before drinking.

Good to know

Use frozen banana chunks for a thick, frosty smoothie.
If your dates are firm, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes first so they blend smoothly.
Coconut water gives a lightly sweet, tropical flavor, while plain water lets the banana and date shine.
