Preparation

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Serve Pour into 2 tall glasses. Sprinkle a few crushed pistachios on top if you like and serve immediately, while cold and frothy.
