Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons black sesame seeds
- 1 large banana
- 0.5 fruit ripe avocado
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 5 pieces ice cubes
- 1 teaspoon black sesame seeds (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Toast the black sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until aromatic. Allow them to cool slightly.
In a high-powered blender, combine the toasted black sesame seeds, banana, avocado, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, chia seeds, and ice cubes.
Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy. If the smoothie is too thick, add more almond milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved.
Taste the smoothie and adjust the sweetness by adding a little more maple syrup if desired.
Pour the smoothie into two glasses and sprinkle with extra black sesame seeds on top for garnish, if using.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Black Sesame Jewel Raw Smoothie!
