Why this is the best tahini smoothie

  • It’s not too sweet. Unlike some fruit smoothies, this one is not overly sugary or sweet.
  • It’s a great breakfast smoothie. The tahini + date combo makes this an extra creamy, rich, and filling smoothie. Pair it with these banana date oat muffins for a complete breakfast.
  • It’s vegan. It’s made with almond or oat milk and sweetened with maple syrup so every ingredient is vegan and dairy free.

Ingredients

  • Blueberries: Use fresh or frozen blueberries for this drink. If using frozen blueberries, you may need to add a bit of extra liquid to get the right consistency.

Instructions

Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth. If needed, add a dash more oat or almond milk to adjust the consistency.

FAQ

What is tahini?

Tahini is made from ground sesame. It is mostly used in different types of hummus or baba ghanouj, but has many other uses as well (such as this tahini smoothie).

What aisle is tahini in?

You can find tahini in a jar in the condiments or oil aisle of your grocery store.

Does tahini need to be refrigerated?

Yes. Store tahini in the fridge once you open the jar to keep it fresh. Stir the tahini well before using it as the oil can separate to the top after it sits for a while.

How long does tahini last?

Tahini normally lasts about 1-2 years. Always check the best before date on the jar.

Expert Tips

  • Use a high quality blender. The quality of the blender you use makes a huge difference when making smoothies. Higher quality blenders will make a smoother drink, breaking down all the small chunks.
  • Make it fresh. You can make smoothies in advance but this drink will taste best when it is made fresh.
