Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender.
Add the pitted Medjool dates, creamy peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, the pinch of fine sea salt, and the vanilla extract.
Add the ice cubes.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35 to 50 seconds, until completely smooth.
Check the consistency; add 1 to 2 tablespoons more liquid if too thick, or a few extra ice cubes if too thin.
Pour into a 16-ounce glass and serve immediately.

Tips

For a thicker smoothie, use frozen bananas instead of ice cubes. Substitute dairy milk with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
