Frothy Tahini Hot Chocolate… Yum!January 31, 2017
This is a variation to my standard hot chocolate I usually have before bed. This one is a little more creamy and frothy, due to the tahini and use of a blender. I like to enjoy this for morning or afternoon tea. Choc-tahini is a fabulous combo! A great way to get in this extremely nutritious paste… tahini is simply blended sesame seeds, which are great sources of plant-based calcium and iron. When you eat more plant-foods, you can be sure to always get a little nutrient boost 🙂
