Strawberry Date Green Smoothie

Our Story

This is Gab's newest morning blend, and it follows her golden smoothie rule: no banana-heavy, chalky protein shakes. Medjool dates do the sweetening, the spinach disappears completely behind the strawberries, and between the collagen, PB powder, and chia seeds it quietly packs over 30 grams of protein. One blender, five minutes, and breakfast is handled.

The Dillon Scorecard

• AJ: Didn't try

• Gab: 5 / 5

• Trey: Didn't try

What We'd Change Next Time

If your dates are soft and fresh, skip the honey entirely, they carry the sweetness on their own. Frozen strawberries make it thicker and colder than fresh, so drop the ice if you use them. And add the extra almond milk a splash at a time; it goes from thick to thin fast.

Estimated Nutrition

One large smoothie: roughly 550 calories, 30 to 35g protein, and 12 to 15g fiber, plus vitamin C, potassium, iron, calcium from fortified almond milk, and omega 3s from the chia seeds. This is an estimate and will shift with your dates, milk, and add-ins.
