Before you jump to the bottom, this post contains tips, tricks, and FAQs about the ingredients and recipe.

Have you ever tried chocolate and tahini together?

The first time I bought tahini was for a faux hummus recipe using cauliflower. I had no idea what else to use it for.

Which was fine, because the faux hummus was awesome.

Then, one day, I saw a food blogger post a recipe for chocolate tahini cookies, and I was intrigued…

I’m here to tell you: this combination is outrageously good! The tahini adds this rich earthiness that compliments the chocolate so well, it’s an absolute dream.

And blended together in a Keto chocolate tahini smoothie is a great way to enjoy this decadent flavor combo!

Is Tahini Good For Keto?

Tahini is very similar to a nut butter, but is made from roasted ground sesame seeds.

A tablespoon contains 3 grams of total carbs and 2 grams of fiber, meaning only 1 net carb for serving. Thanks to its low carb count, Tahini is Keto friendly.

Not to mention, tahini is a great source of healthy fats, protein, fiber, and vitamins — the two tablespoons in this recipe will account for 24% of your daily magnesium!

So you can feel good about adding this ingredient to your Keto smoothie.

How to make your chocolate tahini shake

1. Add almond milk and crushed ice to a blender and blend until smooth.
2. (optional) Stir in xanthan gum to thicken. Be sure to sprinkle it in gradually while continuing to stir to avoid clumping.
3. Add the tahini, erythritol, cacao powder, cinnamon, MCT oil, and collagen peptides. Blend until smooth.

That’s it! Pour your shake into your favorite glass, feel free to add some toppings (I like to throw on chopped hazelnuts and sugar-free chocolate chips), and enjoy.
