Ingredients

smoothie
  • 0.75 cup Greek yogurt
  • 0.5 cup water or milk (to thin)
  • 1 banana (frozen is better)
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder
  • 2 pitted dates
  • 5 g creatine
  • 1 handful of ice (to taste)

Steps

  1. If your dates aren’t soft, soak them in warm water for 5 minutes first — or blend the dates with the liquid first before adding everything else. Stops chunks.
  2. Add all ingredients to the blender.
  3. Blend until smooth. Add more liquid if too thick, more ice if too thin.

Notes

Estimated 35–45g protein depending on the yogurt and protein powder used.

Lighter almond-milk variant (lets the banana and date flavour come through more):

  • 1 to 1¼ cup almond milk
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein
  • 2 pitted dates
  • 5g creatine
  • Ice
  • Optional: a spoon of Greek yogurt for body

Weaker blender? Blend the dates + liquid first, then add the rest.
