CARROT & SESAME DATE SHAKE

By BobD

Ingredients

• You can just about chew on this nutty tasting smoothie, what with all the carrot, sesame seeds and wheat germ. The sweetness here comes from the dates and orange juice, which also contribute calcium, magnesium and lots of vitamin C.
• 1 medium carrot (about 3 ounces), peeled and coarsely chopped
• 3 fresh dates, preferably medjool, pitted
• 1 tablespoon lightly toasted sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon wheat germ
• 1/3 cup fresh orange juice
• 2 or 3 ice cubes

Preparation

Step 1

Place all of the ingredients in a blender along with a few ice cubes if desired and blend until smooth.

Advance preparation: Best if served right away.
