8-10 medjool dates (pitted)

1 tsp of ground cardamom

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 bananas

1 cup of cubed mango

Notes

Every ingredient has its own health benefits. This is a very healthy beverage.

Kind of thick. Mostly taste the banana. Could try another 1/2 cup of mango or coconut water.

1 teaspoon of cardamom is 1/2 the original amount. Didn't taste it. 2 teaspoons may be better.

Maybe add some pulverized pumpkin or sesame seeds.
