Instructions

Shake

Place all of the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
Gradually add more milk/water if you prefer it a little thinner. Add more dates for a sweeter shake or more tahini for more nutty flavors.

Cashew-Coconut Cream (Optional)

If you want to include the cashew-coconut cream put a can of coconut milk in your fridge overnight.
The next day, soak the cashews in very hot water.
Then put soaked cashews, coconut cream (only the solid part of the coconut milk that should be on top now) and Medjool dates into a food processor and blend until smooth.
Add the cashew-coconut cream on top of your shake and enjoy!

Notes

Medjool Dates: This recipe calls for Medjool dates because of it's caramel-like flavour and texture. If you can't find any, simply use "normal" small ones but you might need to use about double the amount.
Smooth tahini: Make sure your tahini is well-stirred before adding it to a blender.
Strong blender: For a smooth smoothie, I recommend using a strong blender.
Frozen banana: If our blender has a hard time blending the frozen bananas, slice them into smaller pieces before freezing.
