Shake Ingredients
- 1 frozen banana
- 4 Medjool dates, pitted
- 1 tablespoon tahini
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of cinnamon (optional)
- Ice cubes (optional, for thicker texture)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather and measure all ingredients including the frozen banana, pitted dates, tahini, cocoa powder, cooled brewed coffee, almond milk, vanilla extract, and optional cinnamon.
- Blend the Shake: Add the banana, dates, tahini, cocoa powder, coffee, almond milk, vanilla, and cinnamon (if using) into a blender. Blend on high speed until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, ensuring the dates are fully incorporated.
- Adjust Texture: For a thicker, colder shake, add a handful of ice cubes to the blender and blend again until the ice is crushed and the shake reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve: Pour the shake into a glass. Optionally, sprinkle with extra cocoa powder or sesame seeds for garnish before serving immediately to enjoy the fresh flavors.
Notes
- For an extra protein boost, add a scoop of your favorite protein powder or a tablespoon of chia seeds before blending.
- Use decaffeinated coffee if you prefer to limit caffeine intake.
- You can substitute almond milk with any plant-based or dairy milk according to preference.
- If you don’t have Medjool dates, other soft, sweet dates can be used, though sweetness and texture may vary.
