Decadent Tahini Date Shake

This decadent and creamy breakfast shake tastes like dessert, but contains the perfect ratio of macronutrients: healthy fats, protein, and good carbs.
It is naturally sweetened with dates (I prefer Medjool dates) and frozen banana provides that thick and creamy texture. I love the subtle nutty tahini flavor in this shake which is a fantastic source of healthy fat.
Bon Appétit!
