Notes
Sweetener: If you don’t have Medjool dates, you can also sweeten the smoothie with maple syrup, brown sugar, or skip the sweetener. Use a sugar-free sweetener if preferred.
Storing: The smoothie is best enjoyed right away but any leftovers can be stored in an airtight jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
