Dates Cornflakes Smoothie

I often find myself getting confused with a smoothie and a milk shake so tried googling today. Some facts about smoothie from wikipedia :

A smoothie is a blended, chilled, sweet beverage made from fresh fruit or vegetables.In addition to fruit, many smoothies include crushed ice, frozen/.dry fruit, honey or frozen yogurt. They have a milkshake-like consistency but much more thicker. Unlike milkshakes, they usually don't contain ice cream, but contain milk.
Dates Cornflakes Smoothie
A smoothie is very refreshing for a morning breakfast. This dates smoothie is not only filling its healthy too! The flavour when cornflakes,dates and honey are blended tastes so gud!

Ingredients:
Milk - 1 cup
Yogurt - 1tbsp (optional)
Dates - 5 to 6
Cornflakes - 1tbsp
Honey - 2tsp
Crushed ice- from a cube

Method:
1.Blend everything together to form a smooth mixture
[No sugar needed]
2.Serve chilled

I am planning to post here every tues/wed so watch out this space every week!
