Come summertime, we figure we should eat as many berries as we can. This creamy fruit shake is a great way to do just that.

Notes

DID YOU KNOW?

Dates are a great natural sweetener because they also add nutrients, including fiber and the minerals calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Feel free to swap half a banana — another wholesome sweetener — for the dates, if you prefer.

“Pitted” means with the pits removed.
