Tahini Greeny






I love tahini, and when I saw the name of this smoothie from The Juice Truck cookbook (see my book review and more of their recipes here) by Zach and Ryan - co-founders of The Juice Truck - it made me want to try it right away! In the smoothie, there are healthy ingredients like, tahini, kale, and mint. There's no sugar or even sweeteners, only dates and bananas. A lot of drinks that are sweetened by bananas often taste too banana-y to me, however the taste of this smoothie is surprisingly different: It's one of those drinks that, before you make it, you aren't sure if it's going to taste tahini-like, banana-y, greeny, or minty, but in the end, it comes out with a pleasant, subtle taste of mint and the other flavours underneath it. It was gently sweet and the colour was perfectly green, too! Since it contains a good amount of protein and healthy fats, it would make a pretty darn good breakfast or mid-day healthy snack!
