Tahini Maple Latte (Vegan)
IT'S FINALLY HERE!
I've posted about this heavenly beverage a few times now on my Instagram, and it seems to have piqued the interest of a large handful of people. I did post the rough recipe in one of my photo captions a while back, but I've had more than a few requests to post the OFFICIAL recipe here on my blog.
So today is the day! It's time to bust out your preferred coffee-maker and hop on to this magical drink that is the TAHINI LATTE ❤️❤️❤️
If you follow me on Instagram, you all know how deeply attached I am to my super-creamy morning coffees. I love to start my morning by blending some sort of fat in my coffee, which lends a decadent, creamy texture and provides me with a bit of fuel. I typically add in unsweetened vanilla almond milk, a scoop of collagen powder, a knob of coconut oil, and a tiny bit of sweetener if I'm in the mood (honey/maple/a small date).
After chatting with my girl Tabitha about making a calming nighttime elixir with tahini and milk, we decided to try blending it with our morning coffees. This incredible treat was born and I've never looked back! The combination might sound strange, but it's UNREAL - the marriage of coffee, tahini and pure maple syrup results in a silky, nutty and slightly sweet beverage that perfectly hits the spot in the morning.
Hope you love this one, and please tag me if you make it! I want to see all of your #TahiniLatte creations :)
Tahini Maple Latte (Vegan)

1 tbsp. tahini
¼ tsp. vanilla extract
1-2 tsp. honey or maple (optional, depending on how sweet you like it!)
pinch of cinnamon
pinch of sea salt
optional: 1 tbsp. cacao powder or 1 scoop @primalkitchenfoods chocolate collagen fuel for extra indulgent flavour
Method
Make a mug of coffee using your preferred method (I always use my Chemex). Pour coffee into your blender with the rest of the ingredients and simply blend together in a high-speed blender, pour it up, and enjoy this frothy heaven in a cup!
