Carob Recipes

I actually got the idea for this drink from a recipe I found through the Sunny Raw Kitchen site. The recipe was called “Best Coffee Ever”. It was very good, but a little too thick, and strong. So, I made some changes after many trial and errors with the recipe. I finally came up with this rendition, which I truly found delicious! I hope you do too.

One note: I recommend you use “heaping” scoops of the raw cacao powder, and heaping tablespoons of the raw carob. It’s okay to use a little more of both then not.

I was trying to make almond butter but it just wasn’t the right consistency, so I decided to add carob, and then all these other wonderful things….rawcolate balls were born.

A great alternative to your traditional date square

This is a recipe I’ve made into my own from Jordin Rubin, author of Heal Thyself.

I was experimenting and I made a huge mess.. I thought it was going to taste weird and it turned out to be awesome, even though it doesn’t look that good! I am not sure about the measurements, since I just threw everything I had in a bowl… But you can adjust everything to your taste…

I sized this portion to mix in my little ‘Magic Bullet’ blender. It really has turned out to be quite useful. Use any nut, soy, or other milk you prefer. Some folks prefer a bit of water and less milk. Note that this does contain dairy in the form of whey protein, which is great for maintaining or building muscle, also if you’re consciously losing weight.

Easy and quick cookie/snack bar made with only 3 ingredients and a processor! You could use dates instead of raisins if you wanted to – I haven’t but you could!
