The dates were pretty much pureed and the milk was still cold. So, yes, the VM totally chops them up. :D If you, or anyone, chills this, expect it to go down in volume as the foaminess settles.

The longer you run the Vita-Mix the more pureed the dates become. If you run the VM for a couple minutes, it will warm up, so then you should chill it. I tend to leave the dates a bit on the chunky side so the milk will be cold immediately. The dates sink and the person who gets the cup from the last bit usually has some yummy date-candy-bits in there. :) Tiffany, Staci and Kimi - Hello, all! Thanks for stopping by! Kelly, hi!

I'll have to try this, I even have some dates on hand. Thanks for joining in on Real Food Wednesday! I stumbled your post. :) Do your dates chop up really small in the Vitamix?

But I had heard of date smoothies before, and they have always sounded yummy to me. In our family, dates are a little like candy! They are so sweet and yummy. :-) Never thought to use dates to sweeten chocolate milk before! But I had heard of date smoothies before, and they have always sounded yummy to me.

I love the flavor of dates. My family enjoys chocolate milk also. I use half cocoa powder and half carob powder, then sweeten with raw honey. You can warm this for hot chocolate as well, but this is not the time of year for that. That sounds good, I’ll have to try it. I love the flavor of dates. My family enjoys chocolate milk also.
