Date Smoothie With Brown Rice and Almond Milk

Date Smoothie with Brown Rice and Almond Milk

✅ Ingredients:

• 1 cup cooked brown rice (cooled)

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk

• 4–6 Medjool dates, pitted (adjust for sweetness)

• 1 banana (optional, for creaminess and natural sweetness)

• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)

• 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

• 1 tbsp almond butter or peanut butter (optional, for richness)

• 1/2 cup ice (optional, for a chilled smoothie)

Instructions:

1. Cook the brown rice ahead of time and allow it to cool. (You can use leftover rice too.)

2. Add all ingredients to a blender: almond milk, cooked rice, pitted dates, banana (if using), cinnamon, nutmeg, and any optional ingredients.

3. Blend until smooth – about 30–60 seconds depending on your blender power.

4. Taste and adjust: add more dates for sweetness, more almond milk for a thinner consistency, or a bit more ice to chill it further.

5. Serve immediately. Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top if desired.

️ Tips & Variations:

• For added protein, toss in a scoop of plant-based protein powder or Greek yogurt.

• Use frozen banana for a creamier texture.

• Swap in oat milk or coconut milk if you prefer a different base.

• Add a pinch of sea salt to enhance flavor complexity.
