Ingredients
-
2
frozen bananas
-
1 cup
fresh blueberries
-
3
medjool dates, pitted, soaked
-
1 tablespoon
raw cacao powder
-
1 teaspoon
maca powder
-
1/2 teaspoon
powdered ginger
-
2 teaspoons
soaked chia seeds
-
1-2 tablespoons
water or coconut milk
Directions
-
First, soak your pitted dates in enough water to cover. Soak from 30 minutes to overnight, whichever is easiest for you.
-
When you remove your soaked pitted dates from the water, save a few tablespoons of it and soak your chia seeds while you assemble and measure everything.
-
Put your ingredients into a blender.
-
Whiz on high until smooth.
-
The last ingredient of coconut milk or water is to get the smoothie to a drinkable consistency, and how much may vary on how much water is in your dates and chia, etc. Just slowly add enough liquid to make it the consistency you like.
-
This will make 2 smoothies, or one big pint size one just for you.
