Notes
Note 1: I find that the creaminess of almond milk works well with this smoothie, but you can also use oat milk, cashew milk, soy milk, or any other milk you enjoy.Note 2: Dates are the perfect sweetener for this smoothie. You can sub for maple syrup if you don't have any at home.Note 3: The strength of spices varies depending on their freshness and quality. Taste your smoothie and add more spices if needed.Note 4: For an extra boost in energy to this smoothie, add one tablespoon of either flax seeds, chia seeds, or hemp seeds.
