BLACK SESAME SMOOTHIE RECIPES

Steps:

• Let's make the Healthy Black Sesame Smoothie. Peel the banana, divide it in half and place it into the blender.
• Add the soymilk, a nutritious, anti-aging soybean product. You can substitute regular milk if you like.
• Add the ground black sesame seeds, which have both dietary and anti-aging benefits.
• Add honey to taste.
• Finally, drop in about 3 to 4 ice cubes, cover with a lid and turn on the blender.
• When the banana is completely blended, it is ready to serve.
• Remove the glass pitcher from the blender and pour the smoothie into a glass.

Steps:

• Pour the Smoothie Milk into a blender, ensuring that the blades are submerged. Add the banana, black tahini, date, cinnamon, vanilla, cacao nibs and mint.

  Blend for 30 seconds, or until well combined. If your blender has more than one setting, start on a low speed and slowly build up to a high one to keep everything from jumping toward the lid of your blender and making it harder to clean.

  Taste and adjust if necessary, then add the ice cubes and blend on a high speed until smooth. If you can no longer hear the crunch of ice when you switch off the blender and hear the motor winding down, your cubes should be thoroughly pulverized. Pour into a tall glass and serve topped with cacao nibs.
