There are lots of good reasons for tahini to be part of your breakfast. It’s high in iron, calcium, and many other vitamins and minerals. While also high in calories, a little does go a long way.

I prepared this quick and easy breakfast this morning (with coffee & milk!); my adaptations:
— 3 dates pinched into small pieces (instead of date syrup)
— pistachios were shelled (as I bought them) but just randomly place 4 around date pieces (rather than chopping further)
— honey infused in fresh sage leaves
It was delicious. I loved how simple, the variation in texture and the variety of seed/nuts with sweet.
Thank you!
You can buy it ready made in many health food stores or Israeli markets, but if you want to make it you just have to soak dates, remove pits and puree.
