Banana Date Shake

Dates or Date fruit , cultivated mostly in the middle eastern region is a great source of iron,vitamins and minerals. Most importantly they are very low in calorie, a fact that many of you will appreciate !!

What happens when this date fruit goes in for a date with our favorite fruit of all time, banana?? The result is very sweet,aromatic and energetic. Definitely give it at a try.

Serving suggestions
