Instructions
- Add the milk to a high-speed blender first.
- Add the pitted Medjool dates, plain Greek yogurt, fine sea salt, and vanilla extract.
- Add the ice cubes.
- Blend on low speed for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
- Check the consistency. If too thick, blend in 1–2 tablespoons additional milk. If too thin, add a few extra ice cubes or frozen fruit and blend again.
- Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.
Tips
- Use soft Medjool dates for easier blending and natural sweetness. Substitute almond or oat milk for a different flavor or dairy-free option.
