Cinnamon Cookie Dough Superfood Shake

This semi-frozen cinnamon smoothie with 'cookie dough' chews throughout is the perfect kid treat for the holidays. They'll never guess it's 100% superfood, good for their little guts, or counteracting the sugar rushes in the treats they bring home from school. For this recipe, use strong, fresh, organic spices to drown out the banana flavor and make it a true, cinna-yum experience.

Ingredients

  • 3 bananas, broken into chunks

  • cup coconut milk (such as Calafia®)

  • cup water

  • 2 cups ice cubes

  • 1 cup pitted Deglet Noor dates

  • cup raw cacao powder

  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root

  • 1 tablespoon peeled and chopped fresh turmeric root

  • 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

  • ¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

  1. Place bananas in a blender. Layer coconut milk, water, ice cubes, dates, cacao powder, ginger root, turmeric root, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract over bananas, in that order. Cover and pulse until shake is very smooth. Dates will remain in chunks to represent "cookie dough chews".

Cook's Notes:

Almond milk can be used in place of the coconut milk, if desired.

Bananas can also but cut into chunks and frozen before blending.
