Been eating dates lately because supposedly they help shorten labor lol.  Don't care for them by themselves though. Came across this recipe and WOW! It's the best date smoothie I have tries so far, and I have tried a few. Didn't have protein powder so just made it without. Didn't really change anything. Used 2 bananas instead of the Ice. Thanks for the recipe! Will definitely keep!

Amazing! I added 2 scoops protein/collagen powder, some chia seeds,  and 1 T peanut butter! This is delicious.

Absolutely heavenly! Made this for my breakfast protein shake and added the optional scoop of vanilla protein powder. 
We don’t have access to fresh dates so I used 3 dried dates and soaked them in the milk as suggested. Definitely making this one again! Tastes just like an old fashioned vanilla milkshake but with the slightest hint of banana. I can’t get enough of it!

This was so good!!!! I ended up adding some peanut butter and I'm adding this as my go-to dessert drink. Since I had it for breakfast I even added my protein and called it a meal! :)

My dad sent me a huge box of dates and I was looking for ways to eat them when I came upon your recipe. LOVED it!
