Oats Dates Banana smoothie |Oats, Dates ,Banana, Almonds milkshake

A smoothie is very refreshing for a morning breakfast. This dates smoothie is not only filling its healthy too!
Dates and bananas are two great sweet ingredients to use when you're trying to avoid "real" sugar. Paired with  milk and oats, they whip up into a quick, easy, and totally satisfying slurry. It's so rich, I'd almost call it a milkshake. This is a great mid-morning or mid-afternoon pick-me-up, with just four simple ingredients.

 dates oats combination is always a hit either in cakes, cookies or milkshakes and the addition of almonds makes it all the more creamier and tastier..Add sugar only if needed in this shake, since it has lots of dates in it..Dates act as a natural sweetner which reduces your sugar intake.
