Chef tips
For an even silkier texture, peel the apple before blending. If the dates are firm, soak them in warm water for 5 minutes and drain well before using.
Substitutions
You can replace the milk with oat drink for a different profile, but the recipe will only become dairy-free if you also swap the yogurt for a plant-based one. Red apple can be replaced with Fuji or Gala apple. Tahini can be replaced with sunflower seed butter to avoid sesame.
