Pregnancy Preggy Date Smoothie
Especially beneficial for all the mamas-to-be after week 36, this Preggy Date Smoothie is so yummy and nutrient-rich, anyone will love it!Head to my Amazon storefront (linked under the “Shop” tab at the top of my site) for the link to the blender I used + some of my favorite glassware and more. Use the keyword search on my site for “protein powder” at the upper right-hand corner of my site for a list of my 6 favorite protein powders to use in smoothies. I hope you enjoy this smoothie too!If you're not pregnant and still want to try, I would suggest reducing the dates down to 2 as 5 is quite a bit for the average person :)
Servings 1 smoothie
Equipment
- high speed blender
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk of choice (I used unsweetened almond milk)
- 1 cup ice
- 1/2 frozen banana
- 5 frozen pitted dates **frozen is key here for the flavor and texture
- 1.5 servings vanilla protein powder (use the search bar on my site or Amazon storefront for my favorites)
- 1-2 tablespoons cashew butter (or your favorite nut butter, but I find cashew butter to be very subtle)
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla bean paste (optional, for flavor)
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a high-powered blender and blend until completely smooth. Pour into your favorite glass with a straw (or enjoy straight from the blender). That’s it!
- Note: for optimal blending, it may vary by blender (check for any specific instructions for the blender you’re using), but it’s usually recommended to add smoothie ingredients in the following order – liquids, ice, produce (frozen or fresh), leafy greens, then powders, seeds, nuts, nut butters.
