Banana-Date Breakfast Shake

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

    1 Banana
    2-3 Medjool Dates (or any kind), pits removed
    1 to 1 1/2 cups Rice Milk

Yuck, I think Carnation instant breakfast has aspartame and cholesterol.  I'll stick to rice milk or soy milk.  Spirutein has good flavored soy/nutrition powders that are much more nutritious if you want an added flavor or punch.  Tofu or a frozen banana can make it creamier if you want.

Carnation breakfast has dairy, too

Yes, that's where the cholesterol would come from.

I make this all the time with soy milk.  The banana/date combination is absolutely heavenly.  This is one of my favorite shakes/smoothies ever.  You can add some maple syrup if you want it sweeter.  Tahini is great with it too.

Gotta love dates Kiss I had extra long bananas so I added 1 more date, 1 cup more milk ( I used soy ) and last moment, to make more, added a big splash of organic apple juice, not from concentrate. It was more like a thick juice, and it was so tasty!
My three year old loves counting the dates in Grin

I added less milk because I like my shakes thick. I would recommend blending the date in the milk first before adding the banana.

This was excellent.  I planned on sipping on it but ended up gulping it down after my first sip.  I'm going to try a little nutmeg in it next time.  Very easy, yummy recipe.  Thanks.
