• Raw carob is lighter than the roasted. It tastes really yummy in my opinion when it's blended with some raw honey, vanilla, and bananas. I still prefer cacao powder over carob, but if your going for a more malty sort of flavor and less fat, I would …

• You could just use it by itself, or you can ass about 1.5 tbs. to it. Just mash it up with the honey, apply to face, leave on for about 15 minutes, and rinse with warm water.
