Creamy chocolate shake

Creamy chocolate shake

My kids and entire family enjoy this rich, creamy, and satisfying treat during the summer. It’s a great afternoon snack as it packs in some nutrition from the dates, bananas, and nuts. You can use a different nut butter or even sunflower seed butter to accommodate tastes and allergies. Freeze any extra in homemade ice pop molds to make your own fudge bars!
