This is one of our favorite healthy dessert drinks! Our friends would come over and beg our dad to make these when we were all craving something sweet. It’s super easy to make and so delicious! —Kaley

Ingredients

  • 12 almonds
  • 2 Medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 Stevia packet
  • 1

Method

Combine the almonds, dates, contents of the Stevia packet, vanilla, ice, and water in a high-performance blender that can finely chop almonds (such as a Vitamix or NutriBullet). Blend until the mixture resembles a milkshake. Be careful not to overblend—the mixture may become too thin. If this happens, add a little more ice. Enjoy!
