Date and Almond Milk Shake with homemade raw tahini

👨‍🍳 Method

For the Drink

1. 1
   Grind the sesame seeds in a powerful blender about 3 minutes, until smooth paste forms.

   Blender

   💡At first the sesame looks like dry crumbs: keep grinding, scraping down the sides, and after a few minutes it releases its oil and turns liquid.

   💡In a food processor, grind in short pulses and check between pulses: it's easy to go from coarse to paste. (Sesame for tahini, on the other hand, is ground continuously.)
2. 2
   Taste and adjust the seasoning.
3. 3
   Put the fruit, banana, almond milk, tahini, vanilla extract and cinnamon in the blender.

   Blender
4. 4
   Add the ice.
5. 5
   Blend 1 minute, until smooth.

   Blender
6. 6
   Pour into tall glasses, garnish with a date slice and a sprinkle of cinnamon and serve immediately with a straw.

   💡A smoothie separates and browns after a short while: drink it right after blending.
