Strawberry Smoothie with Dates

August 26, 2009 · Filed Under Strawberry Smoothies · Comment 

A strawberry smoothie with a surprise of sweetness, dates! The almonds add a nice unexpected flavor as well, but I will never underestimate the humble date again. What do you think about this slightly unusual strawberry smoothie?

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup strawberries
  • ¼ cup almonds, soaked
  • 3 dates, pitted and soaked
  • 1 cup water

Soak the almonds and the dates separately (for at least several hours), then rinse. Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
