Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, peeled, frozen
  • 4 Medjool dates (pitted), pitted
  • 1.5 cups unsweetened oat milk (or other plant milk)
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cardamom
  • 1/4 tsp ground ginger
  • 1 pinch black pepper (freshly ground)
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. 1

    Make sure your 2 peeled, frozen ripe bananas are frozen for the thickest, creamiest texture.

  2. 2

    Add 4 pitted Medjool dates (pitted) and 1.5 cups unsweetened oat milk (or other plant milk) to the blender first so the dates blend smoothly.

  3. 3

    Add the bananas, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/4 tsp ground cardamom, 1/4 tsp ground ginger, 1 pinch black pepper (freshly ground), and 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract.

  4. 4

    Blend on high for 60 seconds until completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add a splash more unsweetened oat milk (or other plant milk).

  5. 5

    Taste and adjust spice levels. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.
