It’s that time of year where we generate a list of things to accomplish during the days to follow. But, unfortunately, sometimes it can be difficult sticking to those goals! If a healthier lifestyle is what you’re after, we made it easy for you.
Soom Tahini boasts a wealth of benefits because of the amazing sesame seed! This tiny but mighty seed is considered a superfood by many since it’s packed with vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. The polyunsaturated “good” fats in sesame seeds are the ones we want to include in our diets to promote healthy organ function, especially for our brains. (And who doesn’t need a little extra brainpower especially at the start of the new year?)
We’ve compiled a list of mouth-watering recipes to kick 2021 off right… without giving up the flavors you crave! Within the recipes below, you’ll find delicious ways to eat more veggies, consume less refined sugar, and find healthier alternatives to some of your favorite foods. Let’s dig in.

Enter our Wild Mushroom Tahini Sauce, which bursts with rich, earthy, and bright flavors as the mushrooms, tahini, vinegar, and lemon zest sing in unison.
Chocolate Tahini Hot Cocoa
Enjoy one of the most satisfying mugs of hot chocolate without giving up those rich, chocolatey, sweet flavors. Our Chocolate Tahini Hot Cocoa consists of just two ingredients (Chocolate Soom and milk). Customize it to your chocolate preference and top it with marshmallows if you’re feeling fancy.
Sweet Potato Fries & Green Tahini Dip
Rather than choosing deep-fried fries, give our crispy Sweet Potato Fries a try. They’re paired with an herbaceous green tahini dip, adding a boost of flavor and nutrition to this favorite side dish.
Vegan Tahini Ranch
We can assure you, this Vegan Tahini Ranch from The Tahini Table will help you (and your kiddos) get those veggies in! Free of cream, this luscious, thick dressing gets its creaminess from, you guessed it, tahini. It’s even more flavorful than the ranch you find sold on the grocery shelves and a whole lot healthier.
Vegan Tahini Mac & “Cheese”
We could all use an excuse to dive into this tasty twist on a gooey comfort food essential. Soom Tahini lends its creamy textures into a velvety smooth dairy-free “cheese” sauce once blended with tender vegetables. After making the sauce, smother warm elbow macaroni (and broccoli) in this luscious, “cheesy” blanket. After, dish it directly into your mouth. Bowl optional.
Double Chocolate Tahini Banana Muffins
If your cravings run so deep that you need chocolate first thing in the morning, we highly recommend whipping up a batch of these super chocolatey Double Chocolate Tahini Banana Muffins. They’re gluten-free and perfectly tender. They’re filled to the brim with wholesome ingredients including bananas, oats, flax seeds, and tahini, yet they don’t taste as hearty as they are. Honestly, you might even forget they’re (secretly) good for you…
Maple Tahini Granola
Before making this Maple Tahini Granola, we’d always opt for store-bought granola; some of which are loaded with unnecessary sugar. But not anymore — this Maple Tahini Granola from The Tahini Table Cookbook might be the best granola we’ve ever had. All you’ll need are 45 minutes, a handful of wholesome ingredients (no refined sugars!), and you’ll have a delicious breakfast, snack, or dessert the whole family will enjoy.
