• 1/3 cup chopped pitted dates
  • 2 tablespoons warm water
  • 2 cups vanilla almond milk, chilled
  • 1/2 cup fat-free vanilla soy or dairy yogurt
  • 1 very ripe banana, frozen
  • 4 ice cubes
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg, plus extra for garnish

Directions:

Put the dates in a small bowl and sprinkle with the warm water. Let soak for 5 minutes to soften, then drain.

In a blender, combine the dates, almond milk, yogurt, banana, ice cubes and the 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg. Blend until smooth and frothy, about 30 seconds.

Pour into tall, chilled glasses and garnish each with a dusting of nutmeg.
