Naturally sweet dates are the basis for this ultra creamy, healthy, delicious vegan date shake, which happens to be dairy-free, added-sugar free, and gluten-free.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large banana, peel, sliced frozen
- ¼ cup cashews, raw
- ½ cup boiling water
- ½ cup chopped, pitted dates (i.e., Medjool)
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- ¾ cup plant-based milk (i.e., soy, coconut, or almond)
Instructions
- Peel banana, slice, place in a container, and freeze. It takes 2-3 hours to freeze banana slices, so you may want to do this step the day before.
- Place raw cashews in a dish and cover with boiling water. Let soak for 10 minutes while you prepare other ingredients. After 10 minutes, drain water from cashews.
- Place sliced frozen bananas, soaked and drained cashews, chopped pitted dates, nutmeg, and plant-based milk in the container of a blender.
- Process for about 2 minutes, until very smooth and creamy. Should make a thick, “milkshake” texture.
- Pour into a glass and serve immediately.
- Makes one serving (about 1 ½ cups each).
