Frozen Tahini-Banana Bites + Sunbutter-Tamari Salad Dressing

We have two recipes for you today! Both are painfully simple and use the painfully cheap tahini and sunflower seed butter. We have been loving bananas + tahini ever since seeing it on Pure2Raw. It's such a good flavour combo. You wouldn't think by the sounds of it, but you just gotta try it! 

Bananas and tahini with cinnamon, coconut and quinoa puffs

Knowing the flavours work so well together I made a frozen treat using only a few simple ingredients. And it came together so quickly, making more time for munching!

What you need:

1 banana, frozen and cut into slices

2 tbsp tahini

2 tbsp coconut oil

4 drops of vanilla stevia (optional)

Sesame seeds (optional) 

Gently heat up the tahini and coconut oil ( just until the coconut oil melts, make sure the mixture stays room temperature). Dip slice of banana in the tahini/coconut oil and flip over to coat evenly. Scoop out with a fork and place on a piece of parchment. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Repeat with the rest of the banana slices. Store in the freezer or the fridge (if you have sensitive teeth lol) until the outside shell is firm. 

Now for the second recipe. It's the easiest asian-inspired salad dressing ever! I don't usually make oil-vinegar dressings just because I prefer creamier dressings. I've always used tahini to make creamy dressings, but never thought to try sunbutter! And it worked so well! All you need is:

2 tbsp sunflower seed butter

2 tsp tamari

5 tbsp water

Mix together until totally smooth. Drizzle over salad!

Arugula, grated carrot, avocado, sauerkraut, lightly steamed broccoli, cucumber, dulse flakes, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, Sunbutter-Tamari Dressing

No salad is complete without avos

Sesame!

This is definitely a restaurant worthy salad. Mmmmm!
