Notes

Milk: You could use any milk of choice such as regular cow's milk or a non-dairy milk such as soy milk, almond milk, oat- or cashew milk.
Peanut Butter: Choose a peanut butter that consists 100% of peanuts without any added oil or sugar.
Dates: If you can, choose Medjool dates! Their caramel-like flavors and gooey textures are amazing in smoothies. If using regular dates you might need to double the amount.
Good Blender: Make sure to use a strong blender that can easily blend the dates.
Adjust texture. Add more milk if you prefer a thicker smoothie or more ice cubes if you prefer it runnier.
Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more dates.
