Notes
- Store in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- I strongly prefer cashews in this smoothie. They blend into an incredibly creamy texture and give the smoothie a vanilla milkshake feel.
- If your dates are a little dry, soak them in warm water for 5-10 minutes first. This helps everything blend much smoother.
- The bee pollen is completely optional. I add it when I have it on hand, but the smoothie is still delicious without it.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for about a day, but I think this smoothie tastes best freshly blended.
