Place all the ingredients for the smoothie into a high-speed blender and blend on high until smooth, ensuring there are no remaining chunks of dates. If the consistency is too thick, add a little bit of almond milk or cold coffee.
For the caramel sauce, combine smooth peanut butter, maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt into a smooth sauce. Drizzle some caramel sauce at the sides of the glasses. (optional)
Pour the smoothie into a glass. Add your favorite toppings, if desired, and enjoy!
