Chocolate Tahini Protein Smoothie

A high-protein, blood-sugar-balanced smoothie that supports hormones, muscle recovery, and clean energy.

Why I Love This Recipe

This smoothie is powerful, simple, and satisfying . The kind of breakfast or post-workout meal that keeps you full for hours without spiking blood sugar. It combines protein, healthy fats, fibre, and functional add-ins like collagen and creatine to support hormones, metabolism, gut lining, and muscle strength, all while tasting like dessert.

Why This Recipe Matters

1. Protein for Hormones & Muscle

   ~40 g of protein supports lean muscle, metabolism, and hormone production.

2. Healthy Fats for Blood Sugar Control

   Tahini and flax provide lignans, magnesium, and fat to balance insulin and support estrogen detox.

3. Gut + Skin + Joint Support (optional)

   Collagen helps repair connective tissue and gut lining integrity.

4. Creatine for Strength & Brain Health (optional)

   Supports ATP energy, muscle recovery, and cognitive function, especially for women over 30.

5. Natural Energy Without the Crash

   Banana + date gives gentle carbs and fibre, not a blood sugar spike.
