Rise and shine, readers! We have a new recipe that’s going to help you get out of bed in the morning (because we could all use a little help with that, right?). Our most popular recipe (like… by a long shot) is our Vegan Tehina Shake. Everyone wants to know how to make those beloved Goldie Falafel shakes at home, and we can’t blame them! But wouldn’t it be even better to wake up to those delicious flavors already prepared in your fridge? Yes. Yes, it would.
As you know from our Air Fryer BBQ Wings recipe, we’ve been loving experimenting with silan (date paste) lately. Dates are a great secret weapon for natural, added sweetness. And silan makes life even easier by having the dates in syrup form.
Tahini is made from ground sesame seeds, giving it a similar texture and flavor to a creamy nut butter—without the nuts! (Great if you have a nut allergy. Not great if you have a sesame allergy.) Tahini is typically used in hummus, but it should really be given more credit than that, because it’s has so many delicious uses. And the tahini + date flavor combo is just unbeatable. No wonder those Goldie shakes are so damn good.
We’re just starting to experiment with overnight oats, and we have to say, we’re into it. They’re so simple to throw together before bed, and you can easily switch it up with new flavors each week to keep things exciting. Also, coming in at around 366 calories per serving, this breakfast is bound to keep you full and satisfied all morning. I don’t know about you, but that’s not an easy feat for me. #nevernothungry
