Instructions

  • If your Medjool dates are a little hard, pit them and soak them in hot water for about 15 minutes or until soft. Once soft, remove them from the hot water and continue with the recipe.
  • Place all of the ingredients in a blender, except for the cacao nibs, and blend until smooth.
  • Add in the cacao nibs and blend for a few seconds to incorporate them into the smoothie.
  • Pour into glasses and top with more cacao nibs!

Notes

Feel free to use dairy-free mini chocolate chips instead of cacao nibs.
