Who doesn’t love a good healthy milkshake?
This drink is thick and frothy, and it has become my new favorite treat! The addition of tahini adds richness, while dates add a natural sweetness.
If I could only reach through the computer and give you all a taste…you’d be hooked!
This shake even boasts a decent amount of calcium at about 200 mg (a cup of milk has about 300 mg). (source)
It’s also easy, quick, and delicious!

Nutmeg is one of my favorite spices, and it adds a great flavor here….it’s quite reminiscent of eggnog! You can also use cinnamon if you prefer.
What’s your favorite way to enjoy tahini?

I just got a food processor, so I have been making my own nut butter (so far almond and cashew) .. and using it in basically every snack. It could turn into a bad habit if I don’t exhibit self control!
Holly says
You should try the Pure2Raw Girls thin mints…amazing! As for tahini milk..start experimenting with other nut butters…pecan butter is particularly delicious as a milk…:-)

Your pup is the cutest! You should feature him in my 23Paws party that I started. We just had our first round and it was a blast. You should join in next month!! Super fun. Check out my page for the deets. Oh and those Cinnamon cakettes look amazing, but I’m pretty partial to Cinnamon things… 😉
