Vegan Very Berry Banana Smoothie

As I've mentioned before, I find dates too sweet to eat on their own but due to their nutrient rich properties, I try to put them into smoothies, fruit salads and other ways to complement their flavor.

Here is a very berry Strawberry-Banana Smoothie, with some dates added for nutrition and sweetness.  Since the dates are naturally so sweet, there is no need to add additional sweeteners, which is how I have been trying to make my smoothies in recent recipes. No honey - No sugar - just naturally fruit sweetness.

Serve immediately.

  5. I think a table spoon of peanut butter would do the smoothie some good. Extra protein, extra fiber to the smoothie and other micro nutrients.
