Chocolate Tahini Protein Shake
Method
Build the shake: Add the soy milk, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, cocoa powder, tahini, dates, chia seeds, vanilla, cinnamon, espresso powder and sea salt to a high-speed blender.
Blend: Add the ice and blend for 45–60 seconds until thick, completely smooth and creamy. Add a splash of soy milk if needed.
Balance the flavour: Taste the shake. The dates provide natural sweetness while espresso intensifies the chocolate flavour. Add another date if a sweeter shake is preferred.
Serve: Pour into two chilled glasses. Finish with finely grated dark chocolate and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
Vegan option: Replace the cottage cheese with 150 g silken tofu and the Greek yogurt with 100 g thick unsweetened soy yogurt. Use dairy-free dark chocolate. The remaining ingredients are naturally vegan. This is closer to a chocolate dessert in a glass than a traditional protein shake. Tahini gives the cocoa a rich nutty depth, dates add natural sweetness, and a touch of espresso makes the chocolate taste even more intense. Despite its indulgent flavour, it delivers an impressive protein and fibre combination.
