Tahini Date Shake
Description
The Tahini Date Shake blends frozen bananas with Medjool dates and tahini, which provides a creamy, nutty base. Unsweetened almond milk adds liquid and mild flavor, while a pinch of cinnamon enhances aroma and warmth. The ingredients combine in a blender with ice for a smooth texture and refreshing chilled effect.
The shake has a subtle natural sweetness from the dates and banana, balanced by the rich, slightly savory tahini. Cinnamon adds a gentle spice note without overpowering the taste. This drink works well as a snack or light energizing treat.
It can be stored refrigerated in sealed mason jars for 1 to 2 nights, though it may separate naturally and benefit from stirring before serving. It also freezes well for up to 3 months; thaw refrigerated overnight before drinking. To freeze bananas for shake use, peel and slice bananas, freeze spread on parchment-lined sheet for 1 to 2 hours to prevent sticking, then store slices in freezer bags.
For additional sweetness, a drizzle of honey can be blended in. The recipe calls for minimal preparation and can be adjusted to taste.
Ingredients
- 2 banana sliced frozen
- 4 Medjool dates pitted and torn
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup ice
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk unsweetened
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon plus more for garnish
Instructions
- Blend. Add all of the ingredients to your blender and run until the shake is smooth and creamy. Transfer to serving glasses and finish with a pinch of cinnamon. Enjoy!
Notes
- Adjust sweetness by adding a drizzle of honey and blending again if needed.
- Store completed shakes in sealed jars in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; stir before serving as separation is normal.
- Freeze shakes for up to 3 months; thaw refrigerated overnight before use.
- To freeze bananas for shakes, peel, slice, freeze on a lined baking sheet for 1-2 hours, then transfer to freezer bags to prevent clumping.
