Tahini is a great blend of fat, protein and carbs.
Here’s a recipe that I created for a low carb halva. This makes a great snack anytime and packs well for my favorite silent sports – hiking, canoeing and camping trips.
Basic Recipe:
28 g tahini
15 g low carb protein powder, vanilla
7 g toasted sesame seeds
Salt to taste, I usually use Morton Lite Salt
Vanilla extract to taste
Almond extract, to taste
Liquid sweetener (stevia and/or sucralose) 0 carb, to taste
