Instructions

Add ½ cup of homemade cashew milk, dates, peanut butter, vanilla protein powder, frozen banana, and maple syrup to your blender.
Blend until smooth and well combined.
Check the consistency of your smoothie.
If it's too thick, add more *cashew milk a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
For a thicker smoothie, add more ice or another piece of frozen banana.
Taste your smoothie and adjust flavors as needed.
If you prefer it sweeter, add more dates or a bit more maple syrup.

Notes

Adding ice can make the smoothie even frostier, perfect for hot days.
Go easy on the sweetener since the protein powder and dates are already very sweet.
Wait until the taste test to add any additional sweetener if you are sensitive to sugars.
You can also use fewer dates or add the dates after the taste test.
