Creamy, dairy-free shake made with tahini, dates and bananas. This rich smoothie would be a lovely after-dinner drink or afternoon treat! Recipe yields two small shakes.

Tahini Date Shake

almond milk

ripe (but not overripe) bananas

tahini

Medjool dates, pitted and torn into pieces

vanilla extract

cinnamon

Optional garnishes: pinch of cinnamon and/or sesame seeds

In a blender, combine the milk, frozen banana slices, tahini, dates, vanilla and cinnamon.

Blend until smooth. Taste and add more vanilla or cinnamon if desired. If you&#8217;d like to lighten it up, blend in some ice as well. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.

This was absolutely delicious!! My boyfriend and are huge fans of your recipes. I've already bought three copies of your cookbook. One for us and two for gifts. I rarely give cookbooks as gifts but we've been so impressed with your cooking that I'm excited to share it with my loved ones.

We made your Southwestern Kale Power Salad for dinner and I noticed this shake recipe on your site. A few hours after dinner, we were craving a sweet treat and realized that we had everything for the date shake. It absolutely exceeded our expectations. You are a fantastic chef and your recipes never disappoint. Thank you for another delicious recipe Kate! :-)

wow this is just fantastic! so delicious. i added a few handfuls of ice and i used fresh home made unfiltered almond milk. it turned out like ice cream so i served it in a bowl with a spoon. i will be making this again and again. next time i'll try adding a bit of fresh mint. thank you so much for the wonderful recipes you provide.

I found this recipe by chance. I was searching smoothie recipes with tahini as an ingredient. All I can say is, WOW! Am I ever glad I found this one. It was amazing and extremely satisfying to my sweet tooth. Going in my recipe box as a new fav! Thanks for sharing.

Oh goodness Kate.  This one is a winner!!! 5 stars aren't enough.

I used homemade almond milk and am drinking this for breakfast.

Thank you so much for another wonderful recipe.

A super delicious recipe! Was needing something to do with the Tahini I got from Israel.

Delicious! I like to spoon it out of the glass like a dessert. So good, the perfect treat.

I was not expecting to like this as much as I did! It is DELICIOUS and a perfect dessert/afternoon snack. Definitely will make again and again.

this is a really delicious adaptation of the tahini-date shake i fell in love with last october when i visited tel-aviv. i discovered this shake at a super cute breakfast/lunch cafe, and couldn't resist ordering it. it blew my MIND, it was so delicious. ever since then, i've been dreaming of that shake and wishing i could visit that cafe on command.

i found this version of the shake and it's quite delicious, although the one i devoured was slightly different and maybe a little more dreamy but still delicious! 

the one i had in tel-aviv had walnuts and oatmeal in it, and i forget which milk substitute, but the other ingredients seem to be the same. 

i just made this for dinner even though it's traditionally a breakfast meal (treating myself!) i don't have any pecans right now, but i did make this as-is and added about 1/4 cup of rolled oats with some ice, only 1 banana, and used oatly oatmilk. it's like drinking ice cream for dinner! 

highly recommend :) and recommend playing around with ingredients, too!

thanks for creating this post for us tel-aviv dreamers!

thanks for the lovely recipe! I used some more milk and added pomegranat seeds on top 
will definitely have this shake again :)

I finally made this for breakfast this morning after fantasizing about it for several weeks. Y'all, it delivered. I ended up taking half of it into work for my smoothie-obsessed coworker because it was too good not to share. It is so thick and creamy and exactly the right level of sweet. Another absolute winner- I've never made a recipe off this site that wasn't a solid 10/10.

Really delicious! Can't wait to make this on a hot summer day.

This literally tasted like a vanilla milkshake - so delicious!!!

I didn't plan on leaving a comment, but when I realized there were only 19 reviews, I was shocked! I absolutely love the recipes that you share, and this one is no exception.

I love tahini, and I can't wait to try it out the day I visit Israel or even Ethiopia as they supposedly have the best sesame seeds in the world, but in the meantime, I have to content myself with what I have in China. 

I used to drink smoothies with berries, but ever since I tried this tahini, banana and date smoothie, I fell in love to the point that I use those ingredients for my oatmeal as well. 

Thank you for sharing this, and keep up the great work!

This was so delicious! And super quick and healthy! Perfect dessert!

SO delicious!  I doubled the recipe, but only used three bananas and it was more than enough. I think next time I will try with one less date as well. Such a treat, thank you as always for the foolproof recipes.

Where has this been all my life? So delicious 

I decreased tahini to two tablespoons and added one cup spinach. This was my single serving morning smoothie. Absolutely delicious!

Currently enjoying my delicious tahini milkshake! Thanks for this awesome recipe…makes me want to book a trip back to Israel
