Looking for a vibrant, nutrient-packed treat that’s as visually stunning as it is delicious? Meet the Berry Black Tahini Milkshake, your new go-to drink for a wholesome pick-me-up. This recipe combines the tartness of mixed berries, the creamy sweetness of banana, and the nutty, rich flavor of black tahini to create a drink that’s perfect for any time of the day.
Why Black Tahini?
Black tahini is not only visually striking, but it also boasts a host of health benefits. Made from unhulled black sesame seeds, it’s packed with protein, antioxidants, calcium, and magnesium. Its earthy and slightly bitter flavor pairs beautifully with the natural sweetness of berries and banana, making it the star ingredient in this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, or strawberries, fresh or frozen)
- 1 ripe banana (for creaminess)
- 1 tablespoon Dipasa black tahini (or regular tahini if unavailable)
- 1 cup plant-based milk (like almond, oat, or coconut milk; adjust for desired thickness)
- 1-2 teaspoons Dipasa Agave Syrup or sweetener of choice (optional, depending on the sweetness of the fruit)
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra depth)
- A handful of ice cubes (optional, for a chilled milkshake)
Toppings (optional):
- A drizzle of black tahini
- Fresh berries
- Granola
- Shredded coconut
Instructions:
- In a blender, combine the mixed berries, banana, black tahini, plant-based milk, agave syrup (if using), and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.
- If the mixture is too thick, add more milk. If you prefer it colder, add a handful of ice cubes and blend again.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or tahini for balance.
- Pour into a glass and garnish with your favorite toppings.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
