Equipment

Small pan

Ingredients

1 cup of your preferred creamy milk like Ripple Pea Milk, or a blend of coconut cream and water
½ a frozen banana or ½ a fresh banana with a few ice cubes if frozen isn’t available
1 ½ teaspoons toasted black sesame seeds
1 tablespoon tahini or black sesame paste for deeper sesame notes
Sweetener of choice the banana adds natural sweetness, but try a touch of date molasses, coconut sugar, or honey for extra depth
A dash of vanilla extract

Instructions

Start by measuring out all your ingredients. Organizing them makes the blending process smooth and efficient. You want to ensure you have everything on hand and ready to go.
If you’re using a frozen banana, simply take it out from the freezer. If you don’t have frozen, slice a fresh banana and add a few ice cubes. The frozen banana will create that desired creaminess.
Toasting the sesame seeds is crucial. Heat a small pan over medium heat. Add the seeds and toast them for about 3-5 minutes. Stir frequently to ensure they don’t burn. You’ll know they’re ready when they emit a lovely nutty aroma.
In your blender, combine the creamy milk, banana, toasted sesame seeds, tahini or sesame paste, sweetener, and vanilla extract. Blend on high speed until everything is smooth and creamy. This should take about 30 seconds to a minute.
Take a quick taste of your shake. You may want to adjust the sweetness or add more sesame flavor. Feel free to experiment until you reach your desired taste. It’s all about personal preference!
Once blended, pour the shake into a chilled glass. You can sprinkle a few extra toasted sesame seeds on top for presentation. Now, savor that unique flavor!

Notes

Use ripe bananas: This ensures sweetness and creaminess. Makes a difference!
Don’t skip toasting the sesame seeds: This step amplifies their flavor significantly.
Chill the glass: A chilled glass keeps your shake cooler for longer.
Experiment with sweeteners: Different sweeteners bring out various flavors. Try coconut sugar for nuttiness or honey for warmth.
Add a little Greek yogurt: For even more creaminess and a boost of protein!
