Ingredients
- 1 banana
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 2 dates, pitted
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- Ice (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 ripe banana, 2 tablespoons of tahini, 1/2 cup of almond milk, 2 pitted dates, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and ice (if desired).
- Peel the banana and break it into smaller pieces. This will help it blend more easily.
- In a blender, combine the banana pieces, tahini, almond milk, pitted dates, and cinnamon. If you prefer a chilled shake, add a handful of ice at this stage.
- Blend the mixture on high speed until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. This should take about 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on your blender.
- Once blended, taste the shake. If you desire additional sweetness, you can add another date or a drizzle of honey, then blend again briefly.
- Pour the shake into a glass and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Tips
- Choose the Right Banana: For the best flavor and creaminess, use a ripe banana with brown spots. It will add natural sweetness to your shake.
- Customize Your Sweetness: If you prefer a sweeter shake, feel free to add another date or a drizzle of honey after blending. Just blend briefly to incorporate.
- Chill It Down: For a refreshing twist, add ice to your shake before blending. This will give it a frosty texture, perfect for warm days.
- Experiment with Flavors: Don't hesitate to add a pinch of vanilla extract or a scoop of protein powder for an extra flavor kick and nutritional boost.
- Serving Suggestions: This shake is best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in the fridge for a few hours. Just give it a quick stir before drinking.
