Tahini Is an Amazingly Delicious Smoothie Ingredient
A good smoothie should be creamy, cold, and smooth . Of course, you can add milk to improve texture, but not everyone wants to start their day with dairy products. For a smooth, creamy, slightly nutty drink, Epicurious takes a page from a hummus book and harnesses the power of tahini.
I’m already a big fan of tahini in desserts , so this step makes sense to me. According to Tommy Werner, sesame paste plays a role here similar to that it does in hummus, mixing and providing a pleasant texture without being distracted from the other ingredients. Just add a tablespoon or two – maybe to a date cocktail? – and enjoy the rich, creamy flavor that tahini brings to the party.
