Equipment

  • blender

Ingredients

  • 1 cups frozen blueberries
  • 1/2 whole frozen or fresh banana, peeled and cut into pieces if frozen (skip if using banana milk)
  • 1 inch fresh or frozen ginger, peeling optional
  • 3-4 medjool dates, each cut in half
  • 2 cup oatmilk, cashew milk or lowfat milk (or use banana milk but skip the banana above)
  • 4 tbsp tahini
  • 1 pinch kosher salt

Instructions

  • Place all ingredients in your blender in the order listed. Ensure you add enough milk to cover everything.
  • Process until desired consistency and prepare to be addicted. This recipe makes 2 1-cup servings. I recommend a double batch if you have enough blueberries.
    Using frozen bananas will give you more of a frozen smoothie result. I prefer using fresh bananas or banana milk (if using banana milk, omit both the 1/2 banana and the oat milk).

Notes

This is my adaptation of a similar recipe I found in Bon Appetit by Molly Baz.  I like an easier to drink smoothie vs. super thick.  I've tried it with both oat milk and cashew milk - equally delicious.  I also prefer less sweet smoothies which is where the ginger and tahini come in.
Can't find ripe bananas? Use banana milk in place of the banana and the oat milk. Delish!
This recipe will make 2 1-cup portions.
