_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 _Nutrition Info:_ This will depend upon the tahini and protein powder you select. As an example, here’s mine – ~3 g digestible CHO ~20.7 PRO TAG: ~6.5 * * * _Variations:_ Add coconut, fine Add orange or rose essence and chopped pistachios Add cocoa and/or swap chocolate protein powder Lily’s SF mini chocolate chips Callebaut unsweetened chocolate bits Cacao nibs Coffee nibs Cranberry-orange-walnut * * * _Shopping List Suggestions:_ [https://smile.amazon.com/Achva-Organic-Tahini-17-6-Ounce/dp/B00CP74LAQ](https://smile.amazon.com/Achva-Organic-Tahini-17-6-Ounce/dp/B00CP74LAQ) _Special Safety Note:_ Check ConsumerLab for carb (actual versus label statement), lead, arsenic and cadmium content of protein powder. ---

Sounds good! I have never had Tahini. But I grew up eating halva (before diabetes) because I am Russian.
