Step by step this way
  • 1.

    Tip the sesame seeds into a dry frying pan and set on a medium heat. Toast, stirring, for 2-3 mins till the seeds look glossy – this is the oil being released – and smell nutty. Tip the seeds into your blender. You don’t have to toast the sesame seeds, but toasting them gives the smoothie a nuttier flavour.

  • 2.

    Slice the skin and white pith from the oranges, and use a small fruit knife to slice the segments out of the membranes. Slide the orange flesh into your blender. Squeeze the membranes over the blender to wring out the last of the juice.

  • 3.

    Peel and break in the banana. Pour in 330ml of the tiger nut drink and add a few ice cubes. Blitz for a few mins till smooth. Pour into two large glasses and dust the smoothies with a pinch of cinnamon before serving.

  • Tip

    Nice & freezey
    For a slightly thicker shake, peel the banana, slice them and freeze them overnight. Use the frozen banana in the smoothie and don't include the ice cubes.
