Rich Cacao Tahini Smoothie Recipe

What makes this smoothie so special is that it’s chocolate… for breakfast! Or you can have it accompanied by a big bowl of salad for lunch.

Here is a cacao & tahini smoothie that’s simple, delicious and will actually leave you feeling satisfied for hours. 

Hulled tahini has a much lighter flavor with a hint of sweetness. Before you make this recipe, make sure you're using hulled tahini as it will give a much nicer flavor to the smoothie, and not the earthy and bitter flavor from the unhulled version.

This Cacao & Tahini smoothie tastes like a rich dessert. Tahini is a creamy paste made from sesame seeds, and it’s an amazing ingredient for smoothies, not only it tastes delicious but also leaves you satisfied for hours.

The secret is to use a brand of tahini that is runny. Some brands may be thicker and used more like a spread, avoid those. If you don’t like tahini, you can always sub it for almond, peanut or cashew butter.

This smoothie would also be delicious with some toasted nuts on top.
