A deliciously thick, healthy, creamy date and banana smoothie recipe made with dates, bananas, and ground cinnamon – the perfect breakfast or evening snack smoothie.
Smoothies are nutritious because they include a wealth of vitamins and minerals from fruits, vegetables, and other natural components. My daughter and I love smoothies, and we make them at least once a week for breakfast.
Today, I am sharing a quick and delicious smoothie recipe made with banana, dates, chia seeds, and milk. It can be made in under 5 minutes. This was my daughter's first smoothie recipe she learned to make independently. Along with this, we love avocado banana smoothie, blueberry banana smoothie, and ragi banana dates smoothie to enjoy for our breakfast.

Ingredients
- Dates: I used pitted dates. They naturally sweeten your drink without the need for added sugar. If you use Medjool dates, adjust the quantity according to your preference.
- Bananas: should be very ripe to get a smooth, creamy, and velvety texture. Fresh or frozen, both work.
- Milk: I used almond milk in this smoothie, but you can use dairy, soy, oat, or any other type of milk. You can also use yogurt in place of milk.
- Chia seeds: Are a great source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
- Ground Cinnamon: adds a warm and slightly sweet flavor to the smoothie.
- Ice cubes: skip them if you are using frozen fruits.
How to Make Date Banana MilkShake
Add 2 medium bananas, 4 pitted dates, 2 tablespoons chia seeds, ⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom, 2 cups almond milk, and 4 ice cubes to your high-speed blender like Vitamix Blender.
Blend for a few seconds until smooth and creamy. If you prefer your smoothies to be a bit thinner, try adding extra almond milk.
Pour into a glass, top it with chia seeds. Serve immediately!
Serving Suggestions
Serve this banana date smoothie as a quick breakfast or healthy evening snack. You can also enjoy this with vegetarian sandwiches or pancakes.
Storage Instructions
- Refrigerator: Fresh date banana smoothie tastes best when served immediately after preparation. However, leftovers stay good overnight or for up to 24 hours in the fridge in an air-tight container.
- Freezer: You can freeze the smoothie in a freezer-safe container or ziplock for future use. Just ensure to thaw it out thoroughly before serving. But remember the consistency of the smoothie may slightly alter after thawing.
