This chocolate tahini smoothie is rich and creamy. The nutty, earthy flavor of tahini complements the subtle bitterness of chocolate in this delicious smoothie. Give this a try if you’re looking for nutritious drinkable breakfast or snack recipes, like this chlorella smoothie, which is another great option.

Ingredients and Substitutions

Tahini is a creamy paste made from ground sesame seeds. It’s rich in B vitamins, phosphorus, and manganese. Tahini is usually available at grocery stores, but if you have trouble finding it then try a health food store or you can order it online.

Cocoa powder gives this smoothie its chocolate flavor. I used natural cocoa powder, but Dutch-process or raw cacao powder work too.

I like to sweeten this smoothie with a couple of dates. You can substitute a ripe banana if you prefer.

You can use any type of unsweetened milk you like in this smoothie. I went with soy milk.

A small amount of sea salt enhances the other flavors in this smoothie nicely. You can omit the salt if you prefer.

How to Make a Chocolate Tahini Smoothie

Remove the pits from the dates, then add them to a blender. Add the tahini, cocoa powder, unsweetened milk of choice, and sea salt to the blender.
