2⁄3;cup
blueberries
(sugarless blueberry preserves also work great!, fresh or frozen)
Directions:
1
Pour hot or boiling water over the dates in a small bowl and let soak for 5-10 minutes, to soften. Note: if using another, less sweet type of date, such as medjool, I'd suggest using one or two extra.
2
Transfer dates (without water) and other ingredients to the blender. You can reserve some blueberries for garnish if you like. Blend until smooth. Stir in the extra berries.
Wow! I forgot to soak the dates, so they ended up like little gummy surprises in the smoothie. Which was good, actually! But really the main thing I want to say is that I was *so* glad I had purchased enough kiwis to have this again the next day. This drink is *really* good! For take 2, I whirled the (unsoaked again) dates in the blender first with some water so they would mix in better. Not for me, mind you, but for my 5-year-old son who thought the date chunks were weird. I did both times have to use some water to get the blender going. Great recipe! Thank you!

Found this to be a wonderful tasting smoothie! Actually used 6 medjool dates for this, as well as frozen blueberries! Enjoyed the blending of flavors ~ all somewhat mild, but together, very, very nice! Thanks for sharing your recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe cooking game]
