Chocolate protein date smoothies that taste like a Wendy’s Frosty 🤤

Dates have been proven to soften the cervix which can help for a smoother delivery!

If you are in your third trimester of pregnancy and are trying to eat the recommended dates per day but are struggling, try this smoothie!

I have had this everyday since hitting 35 weeks and can’t get enough of it! Packed with protein and taste absolutely delicious!

• 1 frozen banana
• 6 to 8 dates (frozen date taste better in this)
• 2 scoops chocolate protein powder (which powder you choose will affect the taste, the one I use has a very neutral taste since it’s just whey concentrate and a little coconut sugar)
• 1 Tbsp raw unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 Tbsp 100% maple syrup
• 1 scoop powdered peanut butter
• 1.5 cups milk of choice (I use whole milk)
• Handful of ice cubes
• Throw all in a blender and blend

Let me know if you try this! Did you eat dates during the end of pregnancy? Do you feel they made a difference when giving birth?
