Tasty, and healthy, too: Coconut water is high in potassium and other electrolytes. And Flaxseeds are a good source of beneficial omega-3s.
Ingredients
Makes 2 servings
Purée 1 very ripe peeled banana (preferably frozen), 2 pitted Medjool dates, 1 cup frozen mango chunks, 3/4 cup coconut water, 1/2 cup frozen blackberries or blueberries, 1/4 cup plain yogurt, and 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds in a blender until smooth.

Back to TopReally good. I'd probably add only one date next time.

I agree with other reviews. Sweet enough to skip the dates. I recommend blending up the water and flax first to get them ground down.

Very good smoothie. I subbed in a nectarine for the mango. It is probably sweet enough to skip the dates. Kids liked it too.

Question, not a review: What is the point of the dates? With mango, berries, and banana, isn't it sweet enough??

The frozen fruit acts like ice cubes. makes the drink cold. That's the idea.

What good is a review if the recipe isn't followed. I want to know how THIS recipe tasted, not someone's altered version.

Just made this smoothie or,I should say I used this recipe as a base! I had all but the dates on hand and I had some ingredients frozen that weren't supposed to be (yogurt) and some that weren't frozen (blueberries, banana). I also used almond milk. It came together very easily and is very tasty. I will make this again!
