Dates Milkshake Tips
Blend long enough - a solid minute (or more) is necessary for this shake.
Soak dates - soaking dates for at least 30 minutes will plump them up and make them softer and more easily blended.
Don't forget to remove the pits - this is a MUST when blending dates.
Use medjool dates - medjool dates have a thin and softer skin compared to other types of dates.
