 A healthy date shake with only three ingredients!  You’ll never go back to the calorie heavy version after you try this healthier version!

3 Ingredient Date Shake

I’m taking a little time to unplug this week but I thought I’d pop in with at least one recipe.  A super simple, cold dessert type drink for you.  Have you ever had a date shake?  If you haven’t, let me tell you they’re amazing.  But there’s something about putting a whole ton of dates with another ton of ice cream that kind of bothers me.  I’ve been eating way too much sugar lately, so this is a still amazingly sweet, but way less sugar version of a date shake.

3 Ingredient Date Shake

And did I mention this shake is so simple?  Any other moms feeling a little worn out this time of year?  I definitely need some simple recipes right now.  For us school starts in less than two weeks.  We’re packing in a few things we wanted to do this summer but haven’t done yet plus a little bit more back to school shopping and I desperately need a little time to unplug and then it will be back to regular schedule.  Yay!

3 Ingredient Date Shake

So I hope you’ll enjoy this super simple sweet snack or dessert and enjoy the rest of your summer!  I’ll be back next week with a roundup of school lunch ideas for your little ones including lots of snacks, granola bars, larabar style bars, healthy cookies(including some nut-free ones) and some healthy lunches you can send with or without a thermos.

Prep Time 5 mins
Total Time 5 mins

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 soft Medjool dates pits removed
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk plus more to blend if necessary
  • 1 large frozen banana chopped
  • dash vanilla optional

Instructions

  • If using harder dates, roughly chop, cover with almond milk and let sit 20-30 minutes before blending.
  • Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until as smooth as possible(there will still be some small date pieces left).
  • Serve immediately.

Notes

Vanilla is optional, I like to use a vanilla unsweetened almond milk(omit the maple syrup) but if you use a plain almond milk, add a touch of vanilla if you'd like.

    This is the kind of shake I would make for dessert – healthy ingredients but sweet and caramel-tasting. Yum!

    Brilliant in it’s simplicity! I don’t think I’ve ever put dates in a smoothie before, but that is about to change!

    I haven’t eaten dates in a long time and haven’t had a date shake, but this sounds really good. I like the fact that all the sweetness comes from ‘real’ ingredients like dates and bananas, because I prefer not to add sugar to everything.

    I’ve used dates to sweeten smoothies before, but I’ve never had something where the dates were the star of the recipe. I think I would love this though!

    I’ve never had a date shake, but I love treats that are sweetened with dates, so I’m sure I’d love this. And yes, I’m feeling especially busy lately, too. Ugh!
