But I also like to add a few cups of greens (usually spinach) and a scoop … i found this version of the shake and it’s quite delicious, although the one i devoured was slightly different and maybe a little more dreamy but still delicious!

I didn’t know that it would have so many amazing vegetarian/vegan options and all of those meals look like they’ve waltzed out of my dreams :) About ⋄ Contact ⋄ Cookbook ⋄ Recipes ⋄ Shop ⋄ Subscribe, Cookie and Kate receives commissions on purchases made through our links to retailers. Those spices and dates in your photos look so, so amazing. What an excellent substitution for a shake. I will not be going to Israel nor Tel Aviv but I would look forward to reading your future post about restaurants and the warm welcome you would also receive in Gaza or the West Bank. It tastes like a milkshake but better! Thank you for another delicious recipe Kate! I add it to everything else!

I’ve been meaning to tell you more about it since my pomegranate salad post, but it was such an overwhelmingly fast and beautiful eight days that it’s been difficult to put the experience into words. Love the addition of your travels and the photos are gorgeous!This is also one of my favorite smoothie recipes but I have yet to try it with tahini. It also contributes, protein, fiber, calcium and iron to the smoothie. I had the most delicious tahini, date, banana and walnut smoothie when I was in Israel. Start the blender on low speed, then gradually increase the speed to high to help blend all ingredients. Healthy and good for you. Glad you enjoyed! Glad you enjoyed Tel Aviv. I appreciate the kind words and review. Markets are a joy of the senses and invite you to eat and cook Great shake loved it Thank you. It absolutely exceeded our expectations. It’s a beach city that never sleeps and the people watching alone is reason to visit. Western and Eastern cultures collide in Tel Aviv with fascinating results. Tel aviv is an amazing city, so happy you enjoyed your trip. It’s genius! And I love the Middle Eastern flare the tahini adds to this delicious smoothie! First up? So delicious thanks so much for your review! I wanna visit. you had me a tahini date shake but the photos and story of your trip are amazing. Tel Aviv’s climate and general atmosphere reminded me of Barcelona and Rome.

My blender isn’t quite strong enough and it was a little chunky but still the flavour was amazing. Perfect!!! That’s a lot of dates! For the reader Kate who “had to” unsubscribe: Yes, Israel is complicated, and not always in the right, but I think the moral thing to do is to learn about those complexities from both sides- without passing severe judgments.
