Date Tahini Banana Milkshake

This tahini shake was shared with Soom from A Sweet Year, by Joan Nathan, who you could call the “queen of American Jewish cooking” (Houston Chronicle). 

In Jewish tradition, holidays are a time for family and feasting, and for Joan Nathan, nothing embodies the holiday spirit more than cooking delicious festive favorites with friends and loved ones. When her own children were young, Nathan published the first version of this book, which covers nine Jewish holidays and includes step-by-step instructions for kids and their families to prepare accessible feasts. 

This is a great milk drink for Shavuot or a healthy vegan snack at any time of the year. It is also a wonderful way to use up the overripe bananas; peel them, then throw them in the freezer.
