The Tahini Tantaliser

“Tahini? Tahini!” I hear you say.  Yes that’s right, tahini!

I think in the UK tahini is very much an underrated food source, and often thought of as being used in savoury dishes, but in my eyes it is a bonified superfood.

• It has 20% complete protein, making it a higher source of protein than most nuts.
• It contains a whopping 426mg of calcium per 100g, which is over 1/2 of your RDA!
• It aids in liver detoxification.
• It’s high in B vitamins and vitamin E.
• It helps to prevent anaemia, promote cell growth and even maintain muscle tone.
• It’s rich in minerals such as phosphorus, potassium and iron.
• It’s great for your skin (always a bonus!)

This is definitely the quickest and easiest Paleo post-workout dessert ever and is perfect for kids too. (My baby even loves this!)
