Notes
You can also use fresh strawberries, but then you’ll need to add some ice to get a thicker consistency
Other varieties of dates are fine as well. Medjool are large, so if you use a smaller type of date, you may want to add 3 instead
The almond milk can be swapped for another non-dairy milk of choice, such as coconut or oat milk. You can also use ½ cup milk and 3 ounces of strawberry flavored yogurt (regular or Greek) if you want more creaminess
Variations: For a banana strawberry date smoothie, use ¼ cup fresh or frozen banana slices and ¾ cup strawberries. For a spinach strawberry date smoothie, add ¼ cup chopped or ½ cup fresh spinach leaves to the mix
This recipe was made in a full sized blender, but it will work in smaller, portable size blenders as well (you may need to soak the dates and add the strawberries in two batches to get them all mixed)
If your blender isn’t powerful (mine is 1000W and did alright), soak the dates in the almond milk for 20-30 minutes (or overnight in your fridge) before blending to soften them. You’ll end up with some chunks regardless since they’re so thick, but most should be small enough to pass through a straw
You can easily double or triple this recipe for multiple people, and it scales really well
While this smoothie is best enjoyed fresh, you can store leftovers in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Add more frozen fruit or ice and re-blend before consuming to adjust the consistency
Exact nutritional values will vary based on brand and flavor of ingredients, size of fruit, any swaps or additions, and actual quantity consumed, so please consider this a guideline only
