- 0.5 cups Greek Yogurt (optional)
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon

In a blender, combine the banana chunks, pitted dates, almond milk, and Greek yogurt (if using).
Add the vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and ice cubes.
Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no chunks of dates remaining.
Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness or thickness by adding more dates or almond milk, if necessary.
Pour the smoothie into glasses and serve immediately. Enjoy!
