Notes

- Dates: option to substitute honey or maple syrup as the sweetener - 1-2 tablespoons of either will work, but feel free to add more, if desired.
- Other Add-Ins: handful of spinach, frozen zucchini, 1/3 cup plain greek yogurt, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon chia seeds, or scoop of dairy-free ice cream.
