Tahini is one of the best sources of calcium. It is made from sesame seeds that are soaked in water and then crushed to separate the bran from the kernels. It has many health benefits, including being high in unsaturated fat, rich in vitamins and minerals and helps maintain healthy skin and muscle tone.
Tahini made from unhulled sesame seeds is more nutrient-rich than tahini made from hulled seeds and is sometimes called sesame butter. Try this Smoothie for a quick, nutritious grab-and-go breakfast or snack.

1½ cups plant milk of choice
½ cup organic, frozen mixed berries
1 Tbsp tahini
1 small banana
3 – 4 ice cubes
1 Tbsp rice malt syrup (optional)
