Now dates aren’t the easiest things to eat plain, so what better way to intake them than blending them up in a delicious shake that you can have at any time of the day!

Here’s what you’ll need:

Brittaney’s Minty Coconut Date Shake

1 1/2 cups unsweetened coconut milk
1 cup frozen coconut chunks
1 cup spinach
1 banana
5-10 medjool dates (take the pits out)
15-20 mint leaves
1/2 cup coconut greek yogurt

1. Chop de-pitted dates into small pieces
2. Place ingredients into a large blender (ice is optional, coconut chunks should be cold)
3. Blend away until smooth

And there you have it! If you want to make it extra minty add more mint and you can even add some cocoa nibs to the mix.

Enjoy 🙂
