Instructions

Add the milk to a high-speed blender.
Add the pitted Medjool dates, tahini, honey or maple syrup, fine sea salt, and vanilla extract.
Add the ice cubes.
Blend on low for 10 seconds, then increase to high and blend for 35–50 seconds until completely smooth.
If the smoothie is 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 Medjool dates for natural sweetness and extra creaminess. To make it vegan, substitute honey with maple syrup.
