A healthful all fruit, non-dairy "milkshake" substitute
(3-4 servings)

Ingredients
2 - Apples
2 - Navel Oranges
2 - Bananas
6 - Pitted Dates

Preparation:

This recipe is best prepared in a high-powered blender such as a Vita-Mix. If a smaller blender is used, we suggest that the recipe be cut in half for each batch.

It is also best to refrigerate the fruit several hours before preparing the Fruit Smoothie. To make the Smoothie even colder, the Banana could be peeled, cut into pieces and frozen.

Thoroughly wash the Apples. Cut into sections. Remove the core and stem. Place into the blender. Peal the Navel Orange and add the orange sections to the blender. Add the peeled Banana and the Pitted Dates. If the fruit is warm, we suggest adding 1 or 2 cups of ice. Cover the blender and run at "high" until the Dates are thoroughly blended into the Smoothie (about 1-minute). Serve in a tall glass with a straw, and enjoy. A Fruit Smoothie also makes a great breakfast.
