Have you ever heard of a Palm Springs date shake? The shake apparently were invented in that California resort city – and they’re delicious. The only downside is they are made with ice cream.
This recipe takes the best of the date shake and turns it into a treat you can enjoy any time without feeling weighed down.
Makes 1 serving
Ingredients:
3 Medjool dates, pitted, chopped and soaked in 1/4 cup of hot water for 10-15 minutes
¼ cup toasted walnuts
½ banana, sliced and frozen
¼ tsp vanilla bean powder or ½ tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Pinch of cinnamon
⅓ to ½ cup cashew milk (or other nut milk)
(optional: ½ cup of ice)
Directions:
Place all the ingredients (including the date soaking liquid) in a high-speed blender and blend until combined. Adjust the amount of cashew milk to achieve a shake-like consistency.
Pour into a glass and enjoy!
