Instructions
  1. Peel and chop the fruit. Add to a blender with the dates and milk. Blend until smooth, add ice, then blend again. Sweeten with honey to taste, pulsing once or twice to incorporate.
  2. Serve in glasses drizzled with Vimto, if desired.
  3. Top with one or more items from the list of garnishes. If you’d like to grind the nuts into a powder, that’s nice, too. Sliced banana and mango are another yummy idea.
  4. Serve cold with a straw or a spoon, and a smile.
