high-protein chickpea smoothie (dairy free!)
I know you've seen the viral date shake, but how about a chickpea smoothie with the same cozy date-sweetened flavors but better?! This one has more fiber, 20 grams of protein, and no protein powder. Plus, you only need 7 ingredients, and I bet you already have them on hand.

Notes
Add ice! If you prefer a colder drink, simply add a handful of ice cubes! You can also freeze the soy milk in an ice tray beforehand.
Storage: By not using ice, though, it makes this smoothie great for storing and prepping. We like to make a batch and then keep half in the fridge in an airtight jar for up to 1 day. Just give it a stir before enjoying again.
Can I use regular peanut butter instead of PB powder?
You can, but it will alter the nutritional profile, adding more fat and calories. If you do, start with 1-2 tablespoons and adjust to your taste. It might also make the smoothie a bit thicker, so you might need a splash more milk. If you forgot to freeze a banana... Just add ice cubes! It won't be as creamy but it'll still be delicious.
