Recipe: The Tiger Shake

From the Vitality Food Feature ‘WINTER MEALS THAT HEAL’.

Spiced date shakes are popular in India. This is a nice change from the frozen berry and banana shakes that can leave you chilled (not recommended for a winter morning). The hemp hearts, dates, and cinnamon have a warming and soothing effect on the body. Maca is also a reproductive tonic, meaning it protects against stress-induced imbalances in sex hormones. This shake gets its creaminess from the sterol-rich tahini, which is a wonderful immune booster.
(Makes 2 large or 3 shakes)

Ingredients

  • 2½ cups water
  • 1 large apple, chopped
  • 2 large medjool dates, pitted
  • 1 Tbsp tahini
  • 1 Tbsp maca powder
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of pink sea salt
  • 3 Tbsp hemp hearts

1) Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
