Absolutely delicious……hubby grows zucchini and our crop this summer has been abundant so I found this recipe and made it today. I used Tahini as you suggested and the shake was absolutely delicious. I topped with homemade granola. I also added one scoop of vanilla protein powder. Soaking dates is crucial (IMO). I will be making this again. Thanks for a great suggestion on using up extra zucchini.

In reply to TheSingingMeatball. Hi, I would add some banana. It's not the same as almond butter but it adds creaminess to a smoothie which is what the nut butter also provides.

Hi LoveandLemons!

I had a glut of zucchini this summer and have been enjoying this recipe a fair bit- I plan on having my vegetarian friends over for the zucchini and marinara bake with Panko too.

I want to make this for some of my friends but just one small problem- some have raging nut and sesame allergies. What do you think would work as a substitute? The fat from the nut butter helps cut through the bitterness of the cocoa and makes it smoother, the medjool dates add the sweetness to make it chocolate-ey (I sometimes add a teaspoon of honey from my own bees if I need something REALLY sweet), and the zucchini makes it beautifully creamy. I know what roles each ingredient plays and why it works so well but when it comes to the nut butter substitute I’m a bit stumped!

I’d love your help, or the advice from your lovely comment section. Hope your week has been good too!

Yummier than I expected. No add-ons used, or needed in my opinion.

I’m always on the lookout for smoothie recipes that don’t use banana and this is a keeper! It gave off peanut butter cup vibes! Yum! And now I have something else to do with ALL the zucchini that’s in abundance right now! Thank you for the recipe!
