This is a wonderful soother for frazzled nerves. Dates are high in fiber and are a source of calcium, magnesium, and folic acid. Rehydrate dry dates before using by covering them with boiling water and letting stand for 30 minutes.

- ½ cup (4 oz) plain or vanilla yogurt

- 1 small ripe banana, peeled and quartered
- 1 tsp. ground ginger
Directions
Combine all ingredients in a blender. Cover and process at high speed until smooth. Pour into a tall glass.
