I’m posting this delicious date shake recipe ahead of Valentine’s day because it’s the only date I’ll be on this holiday!

I hope you’ll join me on this date shake journey. Those that have been here a while know that dates aren’t REALLY my favorite. However, I do like them in smoothies and I really do like a sweet cinnamony date shake! It’s also very Californian of me. The drink originated in and is particularly associated with the Coachella Valley in California. Head out to the desert from LA and you’ll find a plethora of date shake options in restaurants and road side stops. I’ve had two vegan ones in my life and both times they were magical, but I don’t remember where I bought them!

You can easily make your own date shake with a few ingredients and a blender. Sometimes they’re made with ice cream, but I used canned coconut cream and nondairy milk. You could swap it for nondairy ice cream if ya want, no biggie! Cinnamon is essential. I also like a pinch of nutmeg and adding a bit of maple syrup.

If you want a savory use for dates I make a pad thai sauce with medjool dates too! Get that recipe here.
