Remove seeds from dates if they aren't pitted. Place the dates in a very small bowl and top with a 2-4 tablespoons of boiling water. Let soak for at least 10-15 minutes to soften. When they are very soft, chop into small pieces.
Place all ingredients in the blender. Start with frozen ice cubes or banana, then milk, then peanut butter, and then everything else (when toppings land in the milk, they won't stick to the side of your blender).
