Baobab date-cashew smoothie

🥤 A thick drink with baobab, banana, dates, oats and cashew butter.

Ingredients

• 500 ml cold pasteurized semi-skimmed milk
• 200 g ripe banana flesh
• 40 g pitted date flesh
• 40 g oat flakes suitable for uncooked consumption according to their packet
• 30 g unsweetened cashew butter
• 10 g food-grade baobab pulp powder without shell or seeds
• Up to 100 ml cold drinking water if needed for texture

Preparation

Check oats are suitable for uncooked use. Prepare a clean blender and keep milk chilled until needed.

Open each date, even if sold pitted, remove any stone or fragment and weigh 40 g flesh. Peel and weigh 200 g banana.

Mix baobab powder into a little of the measured 500 ml milk. Put in blender with remaining milk, banana, dates, oats and cashew butter.

Close and blend in short sequences until smooth. Stop before scraping sides; never insert utensils while running.

Add up to 100 ml cold water gradually only if needed, then blend again. Final volume varies; do not automatically add a litre of water.

Immediately divide into four equal small portions, or two large glasses each equal to two nutritional portions. No sugar, honey or syrup is added.
