WHAT YOU NEED TO MAKE SALTED CARAMEL MOCHA SMOOTHIE

You need the following ingredients to make this salted caramel smoothie (the exact measurements are in the recipe card below):

• Bananas – for better texture, use frozen bananas.
• Cold coffee – use cold brew or coffee cooled in the fridge.
• Almond milk – or use any plant-based milk, such as oat, soy, or cashew milk.
• Dates – gives the smoothie caramel flavor. If your dates are too hard, soak them in hot water for about 10 minutes, and then drain. Add more dates if you want a sweeter smoothie.
