A Heat-Beating Treat

While the folks back home in New England are buried under masses of snow, here in Melbourne we’ve had three high-30 degree days in a row. To keep cool and nourished, I’m drinking this:

Come here glass of yumminess, I'm going to drink you...

It’s a banana-date-almond frostilicious glass of cold creamy joy. Takes about 1 minute to make, so it’s perfect for a hot day when even moving is an effort. You could also add any superfood powders that you like for an extra boost.

Banana-Date-Almond Frostilicious

Serves 1

1 frozen banana

4-5 dates, pitted

small handful of almonds

water

Chop the frozen banana into a few pieces. Toss it in the blender with the pitted dates, almonds, and enough water to cover. Blend until smooth.

    Oh my! I just made one of these and it was SO delicious! We had run out of raw almonds but I put in a bit of almond meal instead, along with a tablespoon of chia :)
