Banana Caramel Milkshake

Am I becoming vegan?? Or just a plain health freak. Actually neither really but this so called “dessert” probably makes me seem like one. I suppose this is a really good thing because it is my New Year’s resolution to eat healthier and eat less sugar (as it is every single year).   I saw a recipe for a banana caramel milkshake that looked so decadent and soo sinful that I decided to attempt a healthy version.... I put these in a blender:

1 cup almond milk (I use the Pacific brand- Vanilla unsweetened) > can sub skim milk or soy milk

1 banana
2 large dried dates (if they are small use 4) and chop them up into quarters)
Dash of cinnamon

A handful or two of ice

I blended this for about 3 minutes till all the dates were integrated. And the verdit: EXTREMELY SUCESSFUL! This was delicious and would make a great dessert! I’m about to make myself a banana caramel shake even though it’s snowing like crazy outside.
