This Banana Date Shake is a naturally sweet, creamy blend of frozen bananas, Medjool dates, and a splash of orange juice, ready in about 5 minutes. It’s the kind of easy banana smoothie that tastes like a treat, and it’s sure to turn any rainy day into a sunny one.
There’s the sweetest man at our farmer’s market who sells dates every Sunday. He sits there and calls out to all who pass, “nature’s candy!” I agree with him — that’s a perfect name for dates because they’re so sweet and creamy, just like candy. There are so many varieties of date to choose from, but my favorite ones are Medjools because they’re extra creamy and sweet.

Dates are wonderfully sweet and creamy, which is exactly what makes this shake taste like a treat without any added sugar. It’s perfect at this time of year when dates are fresh and in season. The shake is sweet, but not too sweet, and it’s a favorite for my kids in the morning. Kenya may not be in school yet, but that doesn’t stop him from starting his day with one!
