Add the banana and blend again until the mixture is smooth and pourable.
Fill glasses or serving dishes all the way to the top.

Tips
- Half a cup of milk may not be enough to blend the mixture; stick with the full cup.
- It is very filling; for most people half of the recipe makes a good portion.
- The roughly 30 g of sugar comes entirely from the banana and dates; the chocolate adds none.
FAQ
Can it replace a meal?
Yes. It is filling in both fiber and calories, so it works as a meal; even half keeps you full.
