Persian Banana Date Shake (Majoon)
Description
Majoon is a shake combining peeled banana chunks and pitted Medjool dates blended with unsweetened shredded coconut and milk, producing a smooth, sweet, and creamy shake. The natural sugars from the banana and dates sweeten the drink without added sugar. Toasted sesame seeds sprinkled on top add gentle nuttiness and a slight crunch.
This shake is served immediately to enjoy its freshness and creamy consistency, making it a refreshing and filling drink. It can be consumed as a snack or light breakfast.
To modify, alternative plant-based milks like almond, cashew, coconut, or oat milk may be used to make the shake vegan. Adding nuts such as walnuts, pistachios, or almonds before blending can enhance texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 banana peeled and cut into chunks
- 5 Medjool dates pitted
- 2 tbsp coconut unsweetened, shredded

Notes
- Substitute dairy milk with almond, cashew, coconut, or oat milk to make the shake vegan.
- Add nuts like walnuts, pistachios, or almonds before blending for extra texture and flavor.
