Daily Harvest will deliver smoothies to your door, but this one’s easy enough to make on your own. It’s thick and rich and a chocolatey way to start the morning.

Notes

I discovered quite a difference in dates when I was recipe testing, specifically in size and calorie contribution. One small date weighed in at 0.25 ounces and one large was 0.7 ounces, which meant a near tripling of calories. So just know there could be wide variation in the final numbers (and final sweetness) depending on the size of the dates you happen to have on hand.
