How to make it

    Put the dates, cocoa, yogurt, protein, vanilla and salt in the blender.

  3. 3

    Add the milk a little at a time and blend until smooth and thick like mousse.

  4. 4

    Divide between two cups and chill for half an hour to set.

Protein powders differ by brand: the numbers here use a plain whey, so check your tub.

The numbers are approximate: worked out from each ingredient's weight and its figures per 100 g in USDA FoodData Central. They vary with the size of the date and the brand.
