Instructions:

- Secure the lid on the blender.

- If the smoothie is too thick for your liking, add a little more almond milk and blend again until you reach the desired consistency.
- Pour the smoothie into a glass.
- Optionally, you can garnish with a slice of fig or a sprinkle of chopped cashews for an extra touch.

Tips:
- Use a ripe banana for extra sweetness and a creamier texture.
- Soak the date and cashews in warm water for 10-15 minutes before blending to ensure a smoother consistency.
- Add a few ice cubes before blending if you prefer a chilled smoothie.
- For an extra protein boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder.
- If you like your smoothie a bit sweeter, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup.
