Ingredients

• 🌴 Soft Medjool dates, pitted: 70 g (4 large / 2.5 oz)
• 💧 Hot water (for soaking dates): 60 ml (¼ cup / 2 fl oz)
• 🥛 Cold milk (dairy or unsweetened almond milk): 300 ml (1¼ cups / 10 fl oz) dairynuts
• 🥣 Thick Greek yogurt (or coconut yogurt): 120 g (½ cup / 4.2 oz) dairy
• 🥜 Shelled pistachios, unsalted: 30 g (¼ cup / 1 oz)
• 🍌 Ripe banana, sliced and frozen: 1 small (~90 g / 3.2 oz)
• 🌹 Food-grade rose water: 5 ml (1 tsp / 0.17 fl oz)
• 🍯 Honey or date syrup (optional): 5–10 ml (1–2 tsp / 0.2–0.34 fl oz)
• 🧊 Ice cubes: 4–6 small cubes (~80 g / 2.8 oz)

Preparation

• 1 Soften the dates Place pitted dates in a small bowl, cover with hot water, and soak 5–10 min until very soft. Tip both dates and soaking liquid into the blender.
• 2 Build the base Add milk, yogurt, pistachios, rose water, and optional honey or date syrup. Blend on medium for 30–45 sec until the nuts and dates are completely smooth.
• 3 Add frozen fruit and ice Add the frozen banana slices and ice cubes. Blend on high for 40–60 sec until the smoothie is thick, creamy, and milkshake-like. If it’s too thick to blend, splash in a bit more milk.
• 4 Taste and adjust Taste and adjust sweetness or rose water. If you want it thinner, add a bit more milk; for thicker, add an extra ice cube or a few more frozen banana slices.
• 5 Serve Pour into 2 tall glasses. Sprinkle a few crushed pistachios on top if you like and serve immediately, while cold and frothy.
