Creamy Date Smoothie [Bulkbites.com]

Who doesn’t love a creamy, rich and thick smoothie after a workout? I like to use this recipe rich in protein, vitamins and minerals and made with dates, almond milk and protein powder. Dates are extremely healthy ingredients rich in phosphorous, calcium, iron and fructose. Almond milk supplies heart friendly fats to the blend and protein powder is in there to encourage muscle growth. Cinnamon contains antioxidants and goes well with this sweet drink.
