SHAKE SHACK BLACK SESAME SHAKE - EASY AND PLANT-BASED
We took some inspiration from Shake Shack and recreated their seasonal black sesame shake in a plant-based version for two reasons.
-
Black sesame year-round
-
Black sesame tastes good
So here’s the recipe! Enjoy!
Ingredients (single serving):
-
1.5 tsp black sesame seeds
-
1 cup of milk of your choice (we use Rippl Pea milk or half and half coconut cream and water)
-
1 tbsp tahini
-
1/2 frozen banana (if you don’t have a frozen banana you can do 1/2 a banana a a few ice cubes)
-
sweetener of your choice (it is sweet enough for us with the banana, but if you like a bit sweeter, we recommend date molasses or coconut sugar. It pairs well with the rich flavor of the black sesame seeds)
Method
-
Grind the sesame seeds to a fine powder
-
Add all ingredients to your blender and mix until well combined
-
Enjoy!
We said it was easy!
If you want to increase the nutrition of this shake, here are a few things that you can add:
-
Hemp seeds - adds protein and fiber
-
Flax or chia seeds - be careful here. We recommend enjoying this immediately if you add these ingredients, otherwise you will have an amazing pudding the next day!
-
Cacao powder - super rich, provides energy, and takes the classic chocolate shake to new heights!
