Tahini & Raspberry Power Breakfast Shake – a PB&J twist

October 28, 2013 By JJ 17 Comments

Tahini & Raspberry Power Breakfast Shake

After taking September off from the Secret Recipe Club while we ate our way across the US, I’m back with a bang and excited to explore all the lovely creations that appear each month.

My SRC assignment for October was Baking and Creating with Avril and as usual I was spoilt for choice.

Tahini & Raspberry Power Breakfast Shake

I took to her side-bar tags for inspiration and the first thing to catch my eye was a Pumpkin Swirl Bread, however as I’ve been a bit heavy handed with the pumpkin lately I figured I’d simply bookmark it for later.

Her Stuffed Tomatoes were also tempting — and may well show up with a vegetarian twist once summer produce kicks in — but there was no resisting an easy breakfast shake.

Tahini & Raspberry Power Breakfast Shake

My fondness for alternatives to PB&J is well documented so it only made sense to use one of my favourite combos and turn it into a creamy milkshake.

A bit of fruit, some protein and a fancy decoration on the glass made for the perfect post-yoga-followed-by-a-run-I-must-be-crazy breakfast. Yummmm or ohmmmmm or ouchhhhhh as the case may be.

Tahini & Raspberry Power Breakfast Shake

Tahini & Raspberry Power Breakfast ShakeTahini and raspberry is one of my favourite combos from the 100+ alternatives to PB&J list and so it stood to reason that it would be just as good in a milkshake as it is on toast. (Inspired by Baking and Creating with Avril)

Serves: 1 – 2

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 frozen banana, see notes below for alternatives
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp unhulled tahini
  • 1/4 c frozen raspberries
  • 1 1/2 c cold milk or milk-like substance, I used a mix of almond and coconut milk
  • 4 ice cubes

METHOD

Blend milkshake ingredients until thick and frothy, adding more or less milk as you wish. Pour into glass and top with a few raspberries.

COOK’S NOTES

  • Decorate the glass: make raspberry puree by mashing fresh or thawed frozen raspberries through a sieve to remove seeds. Drizzle inside glass with a bit of extra tahini.
  • If not opposed to dairy, replace banana with 1/2 c natural yoghurt frozen into a cubes.
  • If feeling naughty, replace banana with 1/2 ice cream, because you can.

For those keeping score, yes, we totally own a milkshake maker. It was a wedding gift many moons ago and while it isn’t used nearly as much any more — due to a healthy immersion blender obsession — I do love it so.

    This is a wonderful idea! I just bought a giant bottle of tahini and am now looking for more ways to use it. This shake is a stunner too.

I took this video on Jan 1. I even wrote a caption I took this video on Jan 1. I even wrote a caption and everything. And I intended to post it that day as a reflection moving into a new year. But instead, mom and I went out for pizza and wine, and then it was Jan 2, and so on and so on. 
🌀
So instead you’re getting it on Feb 1. A new day and another new month (but what is a new month or a new year, other than a societal convention really). 
☀️
Because, each day, each sunrise, we have the opportunity to start anew - no matter how big or little that start may be. A chance to take another step forward - no matter how many steps back you feel you’re fighting against. 
🌀
Whether this past year brought blinding joy or paralysing grief (and in whatever measure of balance or imbalance), I hope each new day sees the landscape of your life look one step closer to what you imagine it to be. And that when the waves roll in and change that landscape, you can roll with it and see the beauty and possibility on the other side.
🌊
If you’ve made it this far, congratulations, have a cookie 🍪 And I’ll leave you with the rolling waves and blue sky of a California beach in January. I truly hope this year sees us all grow stronger and move forward with each new day. Going backwards is simply not an option.

…
When the middle little insisted on buying quail eggs over Christmas, but due to allll the other food we never cooked them, I simply couldn’t let the little guys go to waste. 
🥚
Could I have made one dish? Of course. Did I instead prepare quail eggs four ways, bake mini loaves of brioche, make mini waffles, dig through the prop closet for the smallest dishes, and set up an entire table? Of course I did. 
💥
Swipe to the end for reference on the size of the eggs and loaf.

My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dou My go-to pizza topping combo 🍕 Made on that dough from a couple weeks ago and voiced by the middle little (who is about as different from her younger sister as you can get!) 💥.
🍕
Sometimes this combo gets prawns too 🍤. Most of the time I don’t bother mixing the ingredients in a bowl and just layer them on top. The cheese is a hard goat cheese (because I can’t do 🐄). The ‘spices’ 🌱 is Sicilian oregano. The measurements are random at best - a handful of this, a splash of that. 
🍕
If you have a fave veggie or seafood pizza combo I’d love to hear it. Because as Ms.S says, voila, yummy yummy pizza!
Flowers for your Friday, that is all.

Look at me, coming at’cha with a double whammy o Look at me, coming at’cha with a double whammy of my go-to Half-Spelt, Sourdough Discard Pizza Dough recipe 🍕 (the one I’ve been teasing for years), AND a new voiceover by little Ms Marmalade herself 👧🏼.
☀️ I mean, I’m not saying the sound on this video will brighten up your day by an infinite amount, but I’m not, not, saying that either ✨.

The full recipe with all the info is over on my site (⛓ in profile and all that jazz), along with a longer version of the video. Because a 5yo singing - SINGING - about rolling dough into balls is ah-mazing.

Ingredients, for those wondering:
* whole spelt flour
* white 00 pizza flour
* water
* sourdough starter discard
* active dry yeast
* kosher salt
* millet flour (for shaping)
⏲ All the times and weights are in that aforementioned post - plus opts to bake right away vs letting it all ferment for a day or two... There’s also a list of equipment I use, and my personal flour and pizza oven faves. Now go have a pizza party! 🍕🎉
Well hello there! ‘Tis the season and all means Well hello there! ‘Tis the season and all means it’s about time I (finally) shared this 🍗 🍇🍊 image from a test shoot collab well over a year ago 🙈. I actually made these Cornish Hens for Christmas last year too and they’ll be on the menu again this year. It’s a perfect holiday feast solution for a small group with only a few meat eaters, but also if you simply can’t be bothered to tackle a turkey!

There seems to be a common thread this year of people asking in stories if it’s ok to start decorating for 🎄 already - my answer, every time, is ‘the world is on fire, time has no meaning, go for your life’. Am I wrong? (I’m not, haha) I may even put up a tree here more than 3 days before (I do keep it up until Easter though, so who knows 😜). Are you getting festive already or do you have hard and fast rules about these things?

Your favourite almost 6yo is back again, and this time it’s cookies. They’re vegan and gluten-free but that’s beside the point really, they’ll be ready to bake in less time than it takes to preheat the oven, and gone the second they cool. For a peek into our VO ‘process’ 😆 hold out for the end 🔈 - the outtakes we’re too good to not include.

For those wondering what everything is:
- 2 c almond meal
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla 
- 1/2 c choc chips or chopped choc
- 180C/355F ~12 min
⚡️ Happy baking, kids! ⚡️

Basically 4 cups each chopped lemon, white sugar, water - and if there’s any interest in an actual recipe I’ll even do a post on le neglected blawg.

Hope this brings a bit of sunshine to your day ☀️🍋🥰 (let me know what your favourite part is - mine is ‘put it in the ooooveenn??’)~ xx JJ
