Strawberry shake (serves 4 hungry kids)<\/p>\n

5-7 dates
\n1-3 teaspoons vanilla
\n5 cups frozen strawberries
\n1 1\/2 big handfuls raw, unsalted almonds, brazil nuts, or cashews (whatever you prefer or have on hand)
\n1 orange, pealed and cut into quarters (optional, for a more tropical flair)
\nwater<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In a blender, puree the dates with the vanilla and a bit of water until they become a paste. This is important to avoid date chunks as much as possible so they don’t clog your straw (Suuuuper important to kids to not have a clogged straw!).<\/li>\n
  2. Add the remaining ingredients to you blender and fill with water to about 1 inch below the top of your ingredients.<\/li>\n
  3. Blend, adding more water if needed. The less water you use, the more flavorful your shake will be!<\/li>\n
  4. Check your shake to determine whether it needs more blending. My blender is a Blentec, and it times itself for smoothies, so I often run it through the smoothie cycle twice just to make sure everything is really smooth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Variations: Use pineapple instead of strawberries for a pineapple whip
    \nUse pure coconut milk and pineapple instead of water and almonds and strawberries for a pina
    \ncolada. Nobody will judge you if you add a splash of rum (but not for the kids!)<\/p>\n
