Are you familiar with the legendary date shake? Well, if you have ever visited Palm Springs, CA, then you understand their importance. A date shake is a milkshake made with dates and it is a signature recipe of the Coachella Valley, which is where 95% of the countries dates grow. The only thing wrong with a date shake is that it is not raw vegan. Fear not, friends, because we did our best to recreate the classic, while putting our own spin on it. This recipe is just as indulgent, sweet, and filling as a date shake, only it is much healthier for you.

This date smoothie is the perfect combination of creamy banana, rich almond butter, sweet dates, aromatic cinnamon, and chia and flaxseed perfection. One thing you can count on, besides a nutty and sweet flavor profile, is that you will get a good amount of fiber by drinking this smoothie. This smoothie has multiple sources of fiber, including the banana, dates, flaxseed, chia seeds, and almond butter. All of these ingredients provide a mixture of soluble and insoluble fiber, both of which are necessary for optimal digestive function. When the digestive system is running smoothly, the body can eliminate toxins more effectively.

You remember that delicious almond butter we mentioned? Well, make sure that it is raw! The almond butter provides healthy fats and protein, two nutrients that help you feel full. Speaking of healthy fats, let us not forget about the flaxseed and chia seeds, both of which provide valuable omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s help encourage optimal brain and heart function! Basically, this smoothie is a flavor and health bomb, so get to drinking! There’s no time to delay!
