Here's a little sneak peak at one of the recipes in my 5-ingredient recipe pack.
Tahini is a great source of calcium! Just 1 tablespoon contains about 182mg of calcium. For adults, we need about 1000mg of calcium daily, and if you're dairy free it's important to include non-dairy sources of calcium in your diet daily to meet your requirements.
These include:
Sesame seeds / tahini
Almonds / almond butter
Green veggies, especially bok choy. spinach and broccoli
Tofu (set in calcium base)
Fish with bones (e.g tinned salmon or sardines with the bones)
Calcium fortified non-dairy milk
Now, on to the recipe. Here's what you'll need:
Ingredients
2 cups (180g) rolled oats
1 cup tahini
4 tbsp honey
2 scoops (64g) vanilla protein powder
2 tbsp. cacao nibs or mini chocolate chips
Method:
1. Place the rolled oats, tahini, honey, protein powder and chocolate chips in a large bowl and stir to combine to form a dough.
2. Once combined, use a large tablespoon of the dough and form into balls.
3. Store in a covered container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Alternatively place in a container and freeze for up to 3 months.
