My Everyday Smoothie with Orange, Banana, and Dates
This vibrant orange, banana and date smoothie is the best of both worlds. Perfectly sweetened and not too thick or thin. I have loved this combo for many months now. The orange and banana go so well together. Orange gives this nice and fresh citrus flavor and banana makes everything creamy. I usually use dried and pitted dates to make my smoothies sweeter. Just pour some boiling water over the dates and let them soak for a couple of minutes or soak them the night before. Then they will be soft enough to blend. My other favorite smoothie combos are this cherry smoothie and this refreshing green kiwi smoothie. Both are fabulous. And this orange smoothie is definitely in the top 3. Make yourself a batch and enjoy with bright new morning or after a workout.

- Pour some boiled water over the dates and let them soak for a couple of minutes.
