2-Way Tahini Date Shake

2-way flavorful shake made deliciously creamy with raw tahini and sweetened with dates and frozen bananas. Mix it up by adding vanilla or chocolate base.

Hi! I’m just popping in with my FIRST smoothie recipe and it’s pretty killer.

I drink smoothies and protein shakes on a regular basis for breakfast and snacks and pre/post gym fuel, but I don’t always post them because they seem so, for lack of a better word, basic.

I know you guys know how to blend some frozen fruit and milk!

This Tahini Date Shake, however, is on a whole other level.

Are you ready?

The first time I heard of pairing tahini and dates I probably twisted up my features in disgust.

This might surprise you, knowing how much I love and use tahini on regular basis now.

I don’t crave frozen fruit as much during the colder months, so I consider this be a great alternative “winter” shake, because it has depth of flavor and cozy creaminess that you can drink by your space heater and not feel bad about.

The tahini adds a creamy tanginess, the dates sweetness, and I fluffed it all up with bananas and a secret hidden veg– frozen cauliflower!

I promise you won’t even taste the cauliflower, and if that doesn’t appeal to you, feel free to substitute ice.

I love to blend this up and slurp while still in my gym clothes and tennis shoes after a killer workout.

It has all the nutrients you need to recharge after a sweat sesh, or. to enjoy as a decadent breakfast or healthy dessert.
