If you’ve ever craved a creamy coffeehouse shake that actually supports your gut and skips the artificial ingredients, this recipe was made for you. Our Tahini Date Coffee Shake is sweet, satisfying, and entirely plant-based. With a short, purposeful ingredient list and a dreamy texture, this better-for-you blend brings big coffee shop energy —without the junk.
Why Make This Shake?
Because it’s the perfect storm of creamy, caffeinated, and craveable—all without compromise. We’re talking about that rare combo: a drink that feels indulgent and tastes like dessert, yet is packed with nutrient-dense, functional ingredients that do your body good.
Thanks to the natural sweetness of dates, the richness of tahini, and the creaminess of frozen banana and oats, this shake hits the spot—whether you need a morning pick-me-up, an afternoon recharge, or a satisfying snack that won’t leave you sluggish.
Oats are also a great source of prebiotic fiber, which helps feed the beneficial bacteria in your gut microbiome, supporting digestion, immunity, and overall gut health through their high content of beta-glucan and resistant starch.
Why This Shake is Incredibly Easy
There’s no elaborate prep, no special equipment beyond a blender, and no need for store-bought (junky) plant milk when JOI is always in your pantry. Just toss the ingredients in and blend until smooth. That’s it. It’s ready in under five minutes, making it ideal for busy mornings or whenever a craving strikes.
Why We Use JOI in This Recipe
We skip the boxed stuff for a reason. Most grocery store plant milks are loaded with gums, fillers, added sugars, and preservatives that can disrupt digestion and leave you wondering why your “healthy” drink didn’t sit right.
Instead, we use JOI Almond Milk Concentrate or JOI Cashew Milk Concentrate. Just one tablespoon of JOI blended with water delivers the clean, creamy base your shake needs—without the additives.
JOI is made from just one ingredient (nuts!) and nothing else. It’s clean label, nutrient-dense, and environmentally friendly. Almonds and cashews also contain heart-healthy unsaturated fats, which may support cardiovascular health when used in place of saturated fats.
Because JOI is a shelf-stable concentrate, you make only what you need—cutting down on waste, packaging, and unnecessary fridge clutter. It’s a win for your body and the planet.
Substitutions & Customizations
This recipe is incredibly flexible. Here’s how you can make it your own:
-
Swap the JOI concentrate: Use JOI Almond for a light, neutral flavor or JOI Cashew for an ultra-creamy texture. Substitute JOI oat or oat creamer for a nut-free version!
-
Boost the protein: Add a scoop of JOI Almond Protein Powder or a spoonful of JOI Hemp Bulk Pail.
-
Dial up the sweetness: Add an extra date or a dash of maple syrup if you prefer it sweeter.
-
Spice it up: Try a pinch of cardamom or nutmeg for a twist.
-
Go hot or cold: Use ice and cold brew for a frosty treat, or use warm (not boiling) coffee and skip the banana for a cozy, latte-inspired version.
