Vegan 'Ice Cream' Smoothie Recipe

Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients:

• 4 frozen bananas
• 1 box strawberries
• 1/2 cup tahini (or more to taste)*
• optional: 1 mango, 1 pint blueberries, 1 tbsp molasses/sorghum, 1 cup raw spinach

* Can use peanut butter

Steps:

1. First make sure you've had 4 bananas in the freezer for at least 24 hours. This adds the crucial thickness and ice-cream quality.

 
2. When you're ready to make the smoothie, leave the frozen bananas out for 5 to 10 minutes. They need to get soft enough to manipulate, but not too thawed. If you don't have a high speed blender, you may want to let them thaw a bit longer.
3. Cut the bananas into wheels. Once again if you do not have a high speed blender, cut them into very small pieces. Add them to the blender.
4. Cut the strawberries and add them to the blender.

7. Add any additional ingredients to taste.
8. Serve up!
