Cinnamon Date Smoothie

Published on 1.28.2021 by Jen Hansard

RECIPE CARD LEAVE REVIEW
date smoothie using Natural Delights Dates

I love smoothies of all kinds, even ones that aren't green! When my sweet tooth hits, I head to the kitchen to whip up this cinnamon date smoothie; it's a seriously delicious dessert, without the guilt. Made with 100% whole food, plant based ingredients like these incredibly soft dates, how can you not dive right in?! The dates add a caramel tone to this cinnamon smoothie— it's truly perfection.

Cinnamon smoothie using whole food ingredients like dates and ground cinnamon

Natural Delights Dates

For this smoothie recipe, I've partnered with Natural Delights to use their pitted Medjool Dates to create this drool worthy date smoothie recipe. Natural Delights Medjool dates are grown in the Bard Valley, a beautiful, sun-drenched area fed by the Lower Colorado River where Arizona and California meet.

These dates are naturally sweet and packed with 16 essential vitamins and minerals as well as disease-fighting antioxidants. They’re perfect for any special diet since they are gluten-free, nut-free, Kosher, Halal, Vegan, Paleo and a raw whole fruit – they’re also available in organic varieties.

simple, plant based ingredients like Natural Delights dates are great

Naturally sweetened cinnamon date smoothie

I always seek out the most natural option I can find when it comes to sweeteners. Natural Delights Medjool dates are a whole fruit whose delicious natural sugars are paired with good-for-you dietary fiber. This combination is metabolized by your body slowly, resulting in lasting, natural energy to help carry you through your day – in a healthy, yummy way. This date smoothie provides sustained energy, instead of the sugar high, then crash.

And these dates aren't just a healthier, natural smoothie sweetener. Natural Delights Medjool dates harness the power of potassium, having 50% more potassium by weight than bananas, which makes them an excellent pre- and post-workout snack. That's why I add them to my post workout vanilla and chocolate smoothies-- dates can help my muscles recover faster, and give me the nutrition I need to maximize the work I just put in.

a beautiful, healthy dessert

Starting to crave other desserts like this cinnamon smoothie? Look no further than this list of recipes. These smoothies are a perfect afternoon pick-me-up, or a fun date night treat:

  • Peanut butter chocolate smoothie
  • Coconut joy smoothie bowl
  • Strawberry milkshake
  • Cacao dessert smoothie bowl
  • Red velvet green smoothie
  • Skinny mint smoothie
  • Raspberry smoothie

If plant based ingredients blended to perfection are wrong, then I don't wanna be right!

More date recipes on the blog

If dates are a new ingredient for you, then you're probably looking for more ways to use them aside from smoothies. While I love dates in my smoothies, I also love putting them to work in other dishes too. Honestly, I just slice my Natural Delights dates down the middle, then fill them with a tablespoon of peanut butter. Such a good + filling snack... excuse me while I go make some now!

But seriously, here are a few ways I like to use dates:

  • Carmel apple dip
  • Chocolate-fiber smoothie cubes
  • Homemade granola bars (just swap ½ cup raisins with ½ cup chopped dates)
  • Homemade plant milk (I add 2 dates in when I make milk in my Almond Cow. The taste is next level!)

Natural Delights dates in smoothies and beyond

Medjool dates are versatile, so you can eat them as-is, stuff them (like my date + peanut butter snack), chop and add to a salad or wrap or throw them in a smoothie for a little added sweetness. How do you like to use dates in your kitchen? I'd love for you to leave a rating of this smoothie as well as comment with your fav way to use dates.

I can't wait for you to try this crowd pleasing Cinnamon Date Smoothie. It's perfectly sweet and creamy, and will delight at your next party or family movie night. The dates naturally sweeten this cinnamon smoothie, while the rolled oats thicken it to a milkshake consistency.
Total Time5 minutes
Servings1 serving

Ingredients

  • ½ cup rolled oats
  • 3 medjool dates (pitted)
  • 1 ½ cups plant milk (ex: cashew, almond, or oat)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 serving Protein Smoothie Boost (optional)
  • 1 cup ice (optional)

Instructions

  • Blend oats until powdery.
  • Add dates, non dairy milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon to blender, and blend again.
  • Pour into a glass containing 1 cup ice, for an extra cold beverage.

Video

Notes

  • Ice can be added to blender at blending stage, yet blades tend to dull over time when blending ice, so we like to add it to our drinking glass.
  • If you prefer no ice in this smoothie, yet still want it to be cold, then place in freezer for 30 minutes before serving.

      Adding our Protein Smoothie Boost would make this smoothie slightly less sweet, yet would make it great for a breakfast for those kiddos. You can totally add your greens here, especially if you're used to drinking greens in smoothies. Spinach would be most mild. Def let us know what you think when you try it!

    This smoothie is outstanding! I love the sweetness the dates bring out in the smoothie and the oatmeal adds some thickness to the beverage. I have added spinach to this which does not alter the good taste. I am obsessed with getting my greens in and hate to miss an opportunity!! A half banana also adds some ‘bulk’ to the smoothie along with a touch more sweetness. I usually add a little protein powder as well. This tastes good for a meal or afternoon pick up!

I'm so happy to have this healthy, delicious and guilt-free recipe now for when I get a craving for something sweet! Thanks, Jen, for turning me on to medjool dates, too. I never tried them before, and they really are delicious. I keep a supply of these dates in the house now, so I had all the ingredients here that I needed to make this yummy and super-easy recipe!

I always have dates in my refrigerator and cinnamon, is a spice, well...I have three jars in my spice cabinet. So, I saw this recipe and ran to my Ninja Blender and whipped up a batch. Just the right amount of cinnamon, the oats made me feel full and the dates made the sweetness just right. Thank you Green Smoothie!

    Looks like a fabulous smoothie. All the ingredients come together to remind you of a cinnamon roll without all the calories and sugar. The oats added is good to help sustain you. I really like dates. I use them sometimes when I need something sweet and not a lot of guilt.

    I always forget I can use oats in the smoothie. We love granola on top of them. Thanks for the reminder. Kids love dates but have never had them in smoothies great idea.

    This looks delicious! A few months ago, I discovered Medjool dates in a shop in a neighbouring village here in Crete, Greece. So happy I no longer have to drive 30+ minutes to get them in a larger city, especially with the current lockdown. I love dates but use them sparingly. If I'm really craving something sweet, I sometimes take a single date and savour it slowly. Yum!

    All the ingredients are so simple and have them all on hand every day. I am going to try this smoothie today for breakfast. I also like the tip of skipping the ice and popping it into the freezer.

    I just love dates and adding them to anything makes it special for me. Cinnamon is also one of those special ingredients for me. I was told my cholesterol is a bit high so that's my go to.
    Great work. Keep it up.

    I’ve been craving something to replace my bedtime Cinnamon Toast Crunch bowl so I’m hoping this will do the trick! Looks delicious and filling with the oats. Love all the nutrients dates provide!

    Very easy and tasty smoothie. What would you recommend as replacement to oats?

    Reply
    • Simple Green Smoothies

      January 28, 2021 at 10:28 am

      Great question Natalie! The oats are acting like a flour here to thicken the smoothie (and provide some good fiber!), so you can swap them out for quinoa flakes or almond flour instead if needed.

    Wow this looks great. I love dates especially as I have family in the Middle East and grew up on them. I currently don’t have dates at home but wondering if I could use date syrup substituting dates.
    Thank you for the recipe

      Also can I use quick/old fashioned oats instead of rolled oats? 🙂

    • Simple Green Smoothies

      January 28, 2021 at 10:29 am

      Yes, any type of oats will work, since we are grinding them into a flour-type consistency here.
