    Easy Homemade Tahini

    I love this homemade tahini recipe and like any other nuts or seed butter, it's super easy to make at home. But I know, trust me, it's even easier to buy it already made (sigh!) in a jar.

    Not only is homemade way cheaper but it's fresher (the oils haven't yet gone rancid) which means it's also healthier. In addition, knowing how to whip up your own at home can make life a lot easier when your recipe calls for it and you are all out! Just keep raw sesame seeds on hand at home in the pantry or freezer.


    Homemade Tahini Recipe | unhulled Sesame Seeds | nut-free sauce #vegan #purekitchenblog

    The photos make the tahini look like almond butter, right? Well that's partially because I used unhulled sesame seeds. You can use hulled, which most store bought tahini is made from, but unhulled is easier to find and the taste/flavor is almost the same.

    Have you tried my Chickpea Brownies made with homemade tahini?

    The photos above demonstrate just how simple and easy it is to make a batch of it at home. And really all you need is one or two ingredients. And the most difficult part is literally toasting the seeds! And we all know at this point in our cooking careers that toasting nuts and seeds really isn't hard at all. Just alway remember: 350 Degrees F | 8 minutes. That's my usual nut-toasting quick go-to instructions. But these seeds took a tad longer. I cooked them for about 15 minutes instead of the usual 8-10.

    From there, just throw them into your good old food processor. If you don't already have one of these, please get one. I use this and my Vitamix every single day. At least one if not both of them. To lead a healthy plant-based (or whole foods) diet, you need good equipment.

    These items are so easy to clean, too, as long as you rinse them off or soak them directly after using them. It's when the sauce or ingredients sit in the bowl for a long time that makes them hard to clean. You don't even need a dishwasher. Much easier to clean than a frying pan.

    Now go ahead and bookmark this recipe - it will come in hand when you're in a pinch at home and need some tahini for a divine salad dressing or dipping sauce.

    3. Blend on high for about 1 minute. Scrape sides. Blend again until smooth, about one more minute. Add sea salt. Pulse a few times to mix up.

Passion fruit water is yet another youth serum. As passion fruit is full of vitamin C, vitamin A, fiber, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and folate. These help your kidneys, nerves, muscles, and heart rhythm in big ways.
Your body uses Vitamins C to make blood vessels, cartilage, muscles, and collagen, which keeps skin looking young. It also helps your body heal, lowers inflammation, and protects your cells from damage. When you get enough vitamin C, it lowers your chances of getting colds and certain types of cancers. Vit A is great for eyes, immunity, and cells.
Note: did you know Passion Fruit is actually a berry? The biggest berry you’ll find.

    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not rea
    If you’re not ready for change, you’re not ready for change. And that’s perfectly ok. 
Making healthy choices isn’t hard work. You “have time” to choose an apple over a bag of chips. Let’s be real here; you just DON’T WANT TO.  And that alone is totally ok!!
Let’s not shame others choices or pressure another to change. If somebody is not happy where they’re at, or they are sick, or in pain, only then will they start examining their current routines and habits. Anger is a great catalysts for change. It often pushes people out if their comfort zones and into action. 
I often hear “I don’t have time to be healthy”. But what that really means is I don’t want to change or I’m afraid of change. And I’m not ready. Change is what they’re nervous about - not the amount of time it takes to chop up vegetables. 
Be kind to yourself…but be honest. 
Notice what you say you desire (weightloss or more energy) and then really examine your habits. Do you make the choices a “thin” person makes? Do you make the choices a rested high energy person needs to make? This might seem obvious but it’s actually not…so often we overlook this gap. We don’t see it and then we get mad at ourselves. Punish ourselves for “failing” over and over again. 
Once you start paying attention to your actions and habits and line them up with your goals - that’s when the magic happens. 
Yay or nay?
