Black Sesame Milkshake Smoothie

Hey Nicholas! Frozen avocado or zucchini can work for creaminess, though they won’t add sweetness. You could also try frozen mango or cooked and then frozen sweet potato for a subtly sweet, smooth texture. If you give any swaps a try, you can always add a touch more fruit or syrup to taste if needed 😊

Hey Nie Scha, glad to hear you enjoyed it despite the texture! We'd highlight recommend using a high-powered blender if possible (we've just added a note about this, and it case it also helps to know, we used a Vitamix). You mentioned "adding a second banana" though the original recipe does call for 2 bananas. Is it possible the second banana was missed, or perhaps you scaled down the recipe to 1 serving? In any case, adding more banana is a great idea for extra creaminess and sweetness. Frozen zucchini could also work for thickness and creaminess, but it won’t add sweetness like banana does. Hope these tips help for your next try! 🤗

Hi Chrysiida, thanks for trying the recipe! Indeed, the seeds are meant to be blended along witht the other ingredients. Although there might be a slight graininess, it should blend to a fairly smooth consistency. Blending sesame seeds can be tricky - using a high-speed blender can work wonders, but straining through a sieve is a lovely workaround. In case it helps, using freshly roasted sesame seeds can also help them blend easier in case you give the recipe another try 😊
