Needless to say, we’re a big fan of smoothies, which is why we have a plethora of thirst-quenching smoothie recipes on hand when we’re craving something cold and sweet.
What makes these smoothies far superior to the rest? Well first, all of these smoothies are naturally sweetened with pitted Medjool dates.
