Ingredients:
2 cups milk, dairy or non-dairy, plus more to adjust thickness
2 ripe bananas, chopped and frozen
1 medium beet, diced (about 1 cup)
6 dates, pitted
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
Optional:
2 cups ice cubes
Equipment:
Chef’s knife
Cutting board
Measuring cups
Rubber spatula
Blender
Directions:
- Gather all the ingredients and equipment. Wash the produce and prepare it as detailed in the ingredients list.
- Add all the ingredients to a blender. Start on low speed, then increase to high. Blend for 45 to 60 seconds until smooth and vibrant. If it’s a little too thick, add a bit more milk. For a slushy consistency, add the ice cubes. Blend on high until the ice is fully pulverized, creating a thick, chilled texture similar to a frozen frappe. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides if any stubborn bits remain. Taste, adjust, and enjoy!
