June 7, 2016 at 2:31 amYum!!! I never thought about putting dates in a smoothie!! This looks like a great ‘end-of-pregnancy’ smoothy since I try and eat 6 dates a day to try and strengthen my uterus.

June 26, 2016 at 4:19 pmThis smoothie is delicious! First, I blended the dates and oats with the milk (I used coconut). This helped break up the chunkier items before I added the rest. Then I added a frozen banana instead of a fresh one, because I like my smoothies thicker. And finally, I added the peanut butter as well as some raw cocoa powder (1/2 tbsp.) for a chocolatey flavour.
