Happy Labor Day! I hope you all are enjoying the long weekend.
This smoothie is made up of just four ingredients and is so delicious. If I have leftover dates (usually from making protein bars or some other snack recipe), I’ll put them in my smoothies as a natural sweetener. They’re especially handy if you’re using unsweetened acai in your smoothies, which can be a little blah without some fruit (or dates!) to compliment it. 
Strawberry Date Smoothie
Ingredients
- 10 strawberries, stems removed
- 5 pitted dates
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (I use unsweetened)
- 1 pack frozen acai OR 1/2 cup of frozen berry of your choice (I use Sambazon acai smoothie packs)
Instructions
- Put the dates and coconut milk in a blender until fully combined.
- Add in the strawberries and acai (or frozen berry of choice) and continue to blend until smooth.
Have you ever tried putting dates in a smoothie?

Hey there! I'm Nicole, a group fitness instructor, healthy lifestyle blogger (you probably figured that one out by now) and Certified Personal Trainer living in Boston, MA.
This is a great recipe – I have used dates in baking as a natural sweetner and to help stick everything together, but haven’t thought to use them in a smoothie. Thick and delicious! I wish I had a blender in my hotel room to try it now 😛 Happy Labor Day!

This was just the recipe I was looking for! Dates have to be my favourite thing ever, I always love adding them to my cereal to sweeten it up. Thanks x
