Ingredients

1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 large banana
4 large Medjool dates pitted
2 tbsp peanut butter
2 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder unsweetened
2 tbsp hemp hearts
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 to 2 cups ice cubes

Instructions

If needed, remove the pits from the dates by slicing in half lengthwise and pulling the pit from the center.
Add all ingredients to your blender and pulse a few times to start mixing. Blend on high speed until creamy and smooth, then pour into glasses and enjoy!

Notes

For a single serving, reduce all quantities by half. Or, make both servings and divide in half. Use an ice cube tray to store leftover the smoothie mixture in the freezer. You can repurpose these cubes as smoothie starters in the future.
