Ingredients
  

  • 1 med frozen banana (slice before freezing) a ripe banana works best
  • 1 tbsp Tahini peanut butter works well as a substitute
  • 1 tbsp milk of choice
  • 3 dates, chopped or 1 tbsp chopped pieces

Instructions
 

  • Place the frozen banana slices, tahini (or peanut butter), milk, and chopped dates into a powerful blender (e.g. Nutribullet).
  • Blend until smooth. If the mixture is struggling to blend, add another splash of milk (but be careful to not add too much).
  • If you want a soft serve texture, you can serve it right away. Otherwise, pop the blended mixture back in the freezer for about 2 hours for a firmer, scoopable texture. You can also freeze it indefinitely until you need it, but then it may need to thaw for 15 - 30 minutes before it will be soft enough to scoop.

Notes

Makes about 3 scoops.
