Camel Milk Banana Date Smoothie

Serves: 2
Prep Time: 10 mins
Course: Dessert / Smoothie

Ingredients

2 teaspoons chia seeds
6–8 pitted Medjool dates
2 cups camel milk
2 large ripe bananas, sliced and pre-frozen

Optional Toppings

Chopped dates
Banana slices
Pomegranate seeds
Shelled pistachios

Instructions

Cut the bananas into slices and freeze them beforehand for a creamier texture.
Remove the pits from the Medjool dates.

Notes

Quick Tip:
If time allows, soak the chia seeds in 4 teaspoons of water for 1 hour before blending. This helps soften the seeds and creates a smoother texture.

Storage Tip:
This smoothie tastes best fresh, but you can keep leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours in a sealed jar.
