Tahini Oat Smoothie

January 24, 2017 by Christine 3 Comments

Tahini Oat Smoothie

It is purely a coincidence that my only two smoothie recipes on the blog currently have oats in them (the other: blueberry oat smoothie). I first tried out oats in smoothies at a local juice/smoothie place and totally fell in love. I love super thick, creamy smoothies, and oats make a great thickener – not to mention, they help a smoothie go from snack to filling breakfast.

I have been experimenting with tahini lately, so it only seemed appropriate to try it out in a smoothie. This combo is the dreamiest and super thick thanks to the oats, tahini, and frozen banana. I like to peel bananas and freeze them ahead of time so they’re ready to throw in smoothies, which gives them that milkshake-like texture. With dates and spices, this smoothie is totally addicting. In fact, I think I’ll be having one for breakfast this morning…

    I’ve NEVER put oats in a smoothie before… obviously I’ve put them on top because of granola but I need to give this a try!

      You have to try! Just a little bit of oats makes it super creamy and thick!
