Carrot and Date Milkshake, anyone?
Before we dive in, let me ask you something: are you a “drinks person”? Over the years of dining out with friends and family, I’ve noticed that most people love ordering sugary, chilled drinks to go with their food.
It always amuses me because I rarely order those kinds of beverages. My go-to is usually water or an Americano. I often feel that a sugary, creamy drink prevents me from fully enjoying the flavors of the meal—but maybe that’s just a “me” problem! 😬
That being said, I do enjoy a milkshake occasionally when I need a little pick-me-up. This Carrot and Date Milkshake was born on one of those days. It’s actually quite wholesome when you look at the ingredients: milk, carrots, dates, and almonds. I even added Sabja seeds to make it a bit more nutritious!
Whether you’re a drinks person or not, this is a delicious and easy recipe worth trying.
