Notes

  • Shop this recipe: Visit our shop to browse quality Mediterranean ingredients including the creamy tahini used in this recipe.
  • Need A Little More Sweetness? This banana shake is just the right amount of sweet, but if you feel you need a little more sweetness, add a drizzle of quality honey and blend again.
  • Prepare Ahead Storage Instructions: Pour into mason jars or freezer-safe mason jars, cover tightly and refrigerate for 1 to 2 nights or freeze up to 3 months. After 1st night, the shake may naturally separate, go ahead and give it a stir before drinking. If you do make extra to freeze, thaw in the fridge one night before.
  • To freeze bananas:
    • Peel them and cut into slices or chunks.
    • Arrange the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper.
    • Freeze for 1 to 2 hours (this prevents the slices from sticking together).
    • Once frozen, transfer the sliced bananas to freezer safe bags or containers and return to freezer for later use.
