Notes

Pre-soak Dates: To ensure the dates blend smoothly, soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes before blending. This softens them and makes them easier to incorporate, resulting in a smoother texture.

Freeze Banana Slices: For a thicker and creamier smoothie, freeze banana slices beforehand. Frozen bananas add a frosty texture and eliminate the need for extra ice, enhancing the overall consistency of the drink.

Adjust Coffee Strength: Tailor the intensity of the coffee flavor to your preference by adjusting the amount of instant coffee used. Start with the recommended quantity and add more for a stronger coffee taste or less for a milder flavor profile.

Experiment with Milk Varieties: Explore different types of milk, such as almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk, to customize the flavor and nutritional profile of the smoothie.
