Banana-Dates Milkshake

Ever since the summers have begun, milkshakes, smoothies and fresh juices have become a part of our diet. I make them with whatever ingredients I have at home. These days I also have a bottle of chilled milk and a few cups of yogurt ready in the fridge. The other day I had few ripened bananas and dates, so decided to combine those with the chilled milk and there I got yet another milkshake *winks*........
