Since it’s high in protein, it works perfectly as a protein bar as well. You can use this keto halva as a fat bomb, too, as it’s high in natural fats. With only 0.4 grams net carbs per serving, it doesn’t break your carb bank either.
Greek halva is a simple Greek vegan dessert made with semolina. Have you ever made a bowl of Cream of Wheat cereal and not been able to eat it right away? Maybe you had to tend to a fussy baby, a pesky telemarketer or a parcel delivery (hurray for on-line shopping).
Make Halva spread by mixing 1 cup tahini paste, 1 cup whole milk, 1 cup powdered sugar, ¼ cup oil (any light tasting oil or sesame oil), and ¼ cup dry milk. You can substitute some or all of the dry milk with cocoa powder for a chocolate halva spread. This spread should be stored in the fridge for no more than 3-4 days. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
This recipe and macros are for simple halva (N.B. photos show sesame seeds halva with a few pistachio nuts added in). You can easily customise halva by adding nuts, seeds, chocolate, coffee, spices, or any other flavourings that you fancy experimenting with. Just remember to add the relevant macros to those I’ve reported in the recipe. Enjoy!
