The Majoon Banana and Date Smoothie is a creamy and rich drink that blends ripe bananas and sweet dates with warm spices like cinnamon and cardamom. Packed with natural sugars, fiber, and nutrients, it’s a nourishing and energizing drink perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

  1. 1 ripe banana, peeled
    4–5 pitted dates, soaked in warm water for 10 minutes (optional for softer dates)
    1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk like almond or oat milk)
    1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for added warmth)
    1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional, for a unique spice)
    1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for extra sweetness)
    1/2 cup ice cubes (optional, for a chilled smoothie)

Instructions

Soak the dates: If your dates are firm, soak them in warm water for 10 minutes to soften them.

  1. Prepare the smoothie: In a blender, combine the banana, soaked dates, milk, cinnamon, cardamom, and honey (if using). Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add ice: For a colder, thicker smoothie, add ice cubes and blend again until the desired texture is achieved.
  3. Serve: Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately. Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or extra dates if desired.

Notes

  1. Protein Boost: Add a scoop of protein powder, Greek yogurt, or nut butter to make it more filling.
  2. Green Smoothie: Add spinach or kale for an added nutritional boost.
  3. Tropical Twist: Add frozen mango or pineapple for a tropical variation.
  4. Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Shake or stir before drinking.
  5. Freezing: Freeze the banana and dates for a chilled smoothie when ready to drink.
