Notes

*If your dates are a bit firm, consider soaking them in warm water before blending to ensure a smoother texture.

*Be sure to occasionally scrape down the sides of the blender to incorporate all ingredients evenly.

*Add frozen items last if using a standard blender instead of a high-speed blender
