Is tahini good in coffee?

Absolutely. Tahini coffee isn’t just a trend—it’s a flavor-forward and nutritious addition to your routine. When blended well, tahini brings a nutty richness that enhances coffee’s depth without overpowering it. It also delivers healthy fats and plant protein, making your cup more satisfying. Pair it with something like our Protein Coffee Smoothie for an added nutritional boost.

What does tahini go with?

Tahini pairs beautifully with both sweet and savory ingredients. From smoothies and bowls to baked goods and sauces, it’s incredibly flexible. Try it in dishes like our Miso Tahini Sweet Potato Bowl or even spread on toast with honey. And of course, it works surprisingly well in coffee for those who enjoy layered, nutty flavors.

How do you make tahini iced coffee?

It’s simple. Start by whisking 1–2 teaspoons of tahini with a splash of hot coffee to create a smooth base. Then pour it over ice and add cold brew or chilled espresso. For extra creaminess, top it off with almond or oat milk. You can even blend the whole mix with ice for a frothy tahini coffee frappe. It’s rich, refreshing, and dairy-free.

Is tahini healthier than hummus?

It depends on your goals. Tahini is made solely from sesame seeds, so it's higher in healthy fats and micronutrients like calcium and magnesium. Hummus includes chickpeas and other ingredients, making it lower in fat but higher in fiber. For concentrated nutrition—especially when stirred into drinks—tahini is the winner. It's why tahini coffee offers such a smart wellness upgrade over flavored creamers or syrups.
