hormones still off, craving salt, chocolate

[theresaann]

It's getting close to that time of the month, and probably since I'm ONLY 3 1/2 weeks raw, I am getting "those" cravings...arrghhh!! hopefully next month my cycle will be smoother.....

Theresann,

None of the "chocolate" raw recipes satiate your cravings at all? The pudding? The brownies? The fudge or fudge balls? What about that fudge recipe on Greenchefs.tv? I keep hearing how wonderful it is - haven't tried it yet, though.

Hey! If you make the chocolate chip portion of the recipe from Mysticat's chocolate chip cookies, it's VERY much like actual chocolate. I add agave (to taste) to it, though and a little vanilla, because otherwise it's like bittersweet chocolate. Here's the recipe and the link it came from:

Blend...
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup carob
1/2 cup cacao
(again, I add agave to taste and a little vanilla...about 1/4 tsp. of it)

Put mixture in freezer, then chop into chunks

thanks for coming to the rescue! Actually after I wrote that I made some chocolate mousse and was instantly satisfied. That recipe defys all raw logic!

thanks for responding~
