👨‍🍳 Method

For the Drink

  1. 1
    Mix the tahini and lemon juice and season with salt.
  2. 2
    Gradually add cold water while stirring, until the sauce is smooth, pale and pourable.
    💡When you add the first water, the tahini thickens and looks like dough: that's fine. Keep adding water and stirring, and it loosens into a smooth sauce.
  3. 3
    Put the fruit, bananas, almond milk, yogurt, tahini, cinnamon, cardamom and salt in the blender.
    Blender
  4. 4
    Add the ice.
  5. 5
    Blend 60 seconds, until smooth.
    Blender
  6. 6
    Taste and adjust the sweetness.
  7. 7
    Pour into tall glasses and serve immediately.
    Glass (for drinking/serving)
    💡A smoothie separates and browns after a short while: drink it right after blending.
