Tahini Mocha Chip Protein Shake
This tahini mocha chip protein shake is such an easy and delicious breakfast or snack that only takes 5 minutes to make! It’s got over 30 grams of protein and 8 grams of fiber to actually keep you full. Plus, it has a little caffeine to give you an extra energy boost!

If you’ve never tried tahini before, it’s essentially sesame seed butter (ground up sesame seeds). It’s one of the main ingredients in hummus; however, I think it’s is great in sweet applications, too. Tahini is delicious in baked goods or in smoothies and shakes, like this recipe. It’s got a nice nutty flavor with slight bitter notes. You can really use it anywhere you would use most nut butters.
The tahini flavor pairs nicely with the rich and bitter flavors of coffee and chocolate. The banana and protein powder add sweetness to round out this shake. Besides being delicious, it’s packed with good nutrition. You get healthy fats from the tahini, steady carbs from the banana, fiber from the cocoa nibs, and protein from the protein powder. It’s a balanced breakfast or snack that will keep you satiated for several hours.
