DELICIOUS DATE MILK

My current obsession at the moment is Date Milk. Sounds weird right? But wait till you try it because you’ll become obsessed as well! This homemade drink is seriously the best “healthy” alternative to satisfy that sweet tooth. Dates have so many benefits and nutritional value to them. They supposedly help with relief from constipation, heart problems, abdominal cancer, and they are good for gaining weight. Dates are also a good source of different minerals like calcium, iron, sodium, potassium, magnesium and zinc. They contain vitamins like thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, folate, vitamin A and vitamin K and they are a good source of energy, sugar and fiber.

So here’s how you make this amazing drink!
(these are my measurements for a two person serving or a large one person serving)

1.      Take about 5 dates, remove the seeds and throw them into your blender.

2.      Take a little bit of almond milk and put just enough to submerge the dates. You really don’t need to use almond milk if you don’t want to or have it but I think it adds a slight creaminess to the drink.

3.      Next, fill the rest of the blender with water and then blend.

4.      After you’re done blending the drink, you can run it through a strainer like I do if you want your drink to be a little smoother (you honestly don’t have to).

5.      Then just add some ice cubes and enjoy!
