1 tablespoon (15 g) tahini paste (hulled)
¼ cup (24 g) gluten-free rolled oats
½ frozen banana
1 cup (145 g) strawberries, washed and halved
1 scoop protein powder (optional)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Pour the smoothie into a glass and enjoy immediately.

Please be aware that any ingredient additions, omissions, or substitutions will affect the nutritional information.

For a dairy-free option, substitute any nut milk of your choice for the full-fat cow's milk.
When choosing a protein powder, use a high-quality, clean protein powder from grass-fed cows with no additives, fillers, gums, or anticaking agents.
For a vegetarian option, omit the protein powder.
Make sure to use hulled tahini paste and not unhulled. Hulled tahini has had the outer shell removed from the seed and results in a milder flavor with the added benefit of higher absorption rates of calcium and other important minerals
You can substitute any nut butter of your choice, such as cashew, almond, or peanut, for the tahini paste.
