Tahini is the secret ingredient in our rainbow of smoothie recipes that are equal parts healthy, rich and nutty.
People by now are starting to cotton on to tahini – the amazing paste of crushed sesame seeds that is one of the essential components of hummus. You may have gotten adventurous and tried it with a salad dressing, and we have to admit our absolute favourite tahini recipe is part of a crunchy top for a Moroccan Spiced Lamb & Tahini Yoghurt Pie.
So far, so delicious. But what about the sweeter side of things? There’s no reason this nutrient dense spread can’t lend its magical nuttiness to a sweet treat or two, and today we’re giving you four! These tasty smoothies are packed with fruit and veg, and we think you’ll agree our secret ingredient is a very welcome addition to these filling drinks.
