Gut-Healthy Cashew Date Shake

A creamy, nutritious shake that tastes like Southern California in a glass is truly the best way to welcome in the warmer weather. And what could be better than my Gut-Healthy Cashew Date Shake? This milkshake is a staple within the Coachella Valley of California (aka, where dates grow in abundance) and is made healthier and dairy-free with the help of a not-so-secret ingredient: cashews! This shake was one of my favorite treats a child, and I know it will become one of your favorites, too!

Equipment

1 Blender I love my Vitamix blender, and will always recommend it!

Ingredients

1 Banana frozen
¾ Cup Raw Cashews soaked for extra creaminess - see notes!
6 Large Medjool Dates pitted
½ Teaspoon Cinnamon
¼ Teaspoon Nutmeg
1 Large Handful Ice Cubes
¾ Cup Almond Milk
1 Dollop Coconut Yogurt

Instructions

Start by adding all of your ingredients (minus the coconut yogurt) to a high-speed blender.
Next, blend your ingredients together on high until they're fully combined.
If needed, you can pause the blender, remove the lid, and scrape down the sides so that everything is fully incorporated.
Once done, divide your smoothie across two glasses and top each smoothie with a dollop of coconut yogurt. Serve immediately, and enjoy!
