Dates, Nuts and Seeds Shake

This is a great replacement for that morning glass of milk given to children.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds – raw, organic, unpolished
  • 6 – 8 almonds
  • 6 – 8 dates, pitted
  • 1 cardamom /⅛ tsp cinnamon /4 – 5 strands of saffron (for flavour)
  • ¾ cup drinking water

Method

In a small blender, blend sesame seeds, almonds and the flavouring together, until it forms a powder. Then, add the dates and blend until you obtain a thick paste-like consistency. Add some water if required, to make it smoother. Add more water to obtain the consistency of a shake. Transfer to a tall glass and serve.
