Blend on high until the mixture becomes smooth and creamy. If needed, stop the blender and scrape down the sides to ensure everything blends evenly. - Adjust the Sweetness:
Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness if desired by adding more dates or a sweetener of your choice. - Serve and Enjoy:

Tips for Success:
- Sweetness Options: If you prefer a sweeter smoothie, add an extra Medjool date, a drizzle of honey, or a sweetener of your choice.
- Frozen Pineapple: Using frozen pineapple will give the smoothie a thicker, creamier consistency, perfect for warm days!
- Optional Add-Ins: Hemp seeds provide an added boost of healthy fats and protein, but feel free to leave them out or substitute with chia seeds or flaxseeds.
