Ingredients
1 banana, sliced and frozen
8 pitted dates
1½ cups (355 ml) almond milk
¼ cup (60 g) vanilla yogurt
2 tablespoons (32 g) peanut butter
2 tablespoons (28 ml) maple syrup, divided
2 teaspoons canna-oil, made with coconut oil
¼ cup (35 g) chopped roasted unsalted peanuts
Instructions
1. In a blender, thoroughly combine the banana, dates, almond milk, yogurt, peanut butter, 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup, and the canna-oil.
2. Place the remaining 1 tablespoon (15 ml) maple syrup on a shallow plate. On another plate, place the peanuts. To rim a glass with peanuts, hold the bottom of the glass, dip the rim in the syrup, and then run it through the peanuts.
3. Pour the smoothie into the prepared glasses and serve.
Chef’s notes: Smoothies are so versatile. They’re a treat any time.
• For infusing a smoothie, I prefer canna-oil made with coconut oil.
• Instead of peanut butter, you could substitute with other fruit in its place. Use what’s in season, or freeze ripe fruit for up to six months.
