Vegan Healthy Banana Date Morning Shake

When I really want to spoil my husband, I know exactly what to do… I walk straight to our freezer (where we store our dates) and pick out a handful of dates. My husband already knows only good things come out when I do that.

My husband and son absolutely love this shake, based on dates, peanut butter and banana. This shake is so good and so delicious, you’d imagine it was full of unhealthy things, but the good thing is, It’s only sweetened with fruits.

It is just the right boost of energy to have in the morning. the shake is very fulfilling so you don't really need anything else to feel full and satisfied from your breakfast.

It is full of fiber, protein and calcium, so you are already starting your day with a great start.

It is so tasty that I would make it every day if it didn’t mean I would have to wash the blender (hate washing the blender) :)

Try it....

Protein - The protein in this shake comes from the peanut butter, the chia and the hemp seeds. If you are using my choice of milk (ripple 's pea milk), that also has a nice amount of protein.

Fiber - Comes from the chia seeds, hemp seeds, the dates and the banana. Surprisingly, Hemp seed has a whopping 16.8 grams of fiber in a 56g serving, that is incredible.

Calcium - Most non-dairy milk are calcium fortified, so the calcium in this shake will mostly come from your choice of milk along with a nice amount from the chia seeds.

Whenever I go in the kitchen, whether it is for cooking or baking, I need to have my music with me. I thought it would be nice to share with you the exact song that describes my feeling towards each recipe. That way you can have a similar experience while cooking...
