Banana and Date Smoothie

6. May, 2009

One night, when home alone (Jóhannes was on a business trip in Portugal) I looked into my fridge and there was nothing in it apart from soy yoghurt and nail polish. I knew I had some overripe bananas lying around as well so that only meant one thing, banana smoothie (without the nail polish obviously)! I decided to add some dates as well to make it extra filling since I wasn't bothered to cook a dinner just for myself. The smoothie was wonderful and ever since this night I often make it for my family.

You will need a food processor or a blender to make this smoothie.
