  • 4 Dates
  • 1 tsp Cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Ginger

Directions:
  1. Combine all ingredients in a Vitamix
  2. Using the tamper, push the Bananas into the blades if needed
  3. Blend until smooth about 30 seconds
  4. Check for sweetness, add sweetener & reblend if necessary
  5. Pour mixture into Ninja Creami Deluxe Container, if space left before Scoopable Max Fill line, add more milk, stir
  6. Place in freezer for 24 hours without the lid*
  7. When ready to enjoy, process using a Ninja Creami Deluxe Lite Ice Cream setting, Re-Spin if necessary, adding more milk if needed
