Simplest thing to do with raw cacao power

[rhythmofthecosmos]

I have just found it in a local shop yay!!!

My first product that I havent got over the internet that actually says RAW on the label am soo happy :)

Anyway I was wondering whats the best way to use it, am on a very tight budget (student) so I afford to keep ordering things of the net as pnp add up.

Is there a simple smoothie I can make or something?

Thanks

Yes! I JUST posted my cacao shake/smoothie recipe here:

Mix with some agave nectar for a great dip for fruit (I love it with strawberry).

or, add to a banana/date/coconut water smoothie. Delish!

[walnutty]

I ditto c'estlaviebelle!

I put 1 T. cacao powder and 2 T. agave in one bowl. Crushed soaked and sprouted almonds in another bowl. Then I slice bananas and dip first in the cacao sauce and second in the crushed almonds. It's raw fondue!

Oh! Sooooo good!!!

[rhythmofthecosmos]

hmm I will have to order some agave nectar over the net then..

is it a superfood?


thanks :)

[walnutty]

No, agave nectar is a sweetener. It is delicious! You may be able to get it at a local health food store...most carry it now as it has become very popular. Good luck!

One of my fav things to do is mix it with raw honey, pollen & maca extreme!

Right now I'm eating sliced bananas sprinkled with raw cacao powder. Yummy!

...I make RP Brownies rolled into little balls....minus the frosting....they are great to take along out of the house: 1 cup walnuts, 1 cup pitted dates, 1/4 cup cacao: Process in Food processor until it all comes together. Roll into little balls.............yummmmmmmmmmm

Mmm...the balls are a good idea. You could even roll them in shredded cocount so they can be handled better.

just pop some in your blender with some lettuce and/or spinach,banana and your choice of sweetener if needed. It makes a great chocolate shake. If you've got some berries you might add a few of those, too.

seriously, best chocolate shake ever. i was eating this for breakfast for awhile, then stopped & separated my green smoothie from my treat smoothie so to speak. i dont have my treat smoothie every day, but it is 1 banana + bunch of berries + cocao. really really great.

i think the smoothie is the way to go.
for breakfast i had thissmoothie:

1 banana
large handful of grenns (spinach,romaine, kale)
1 T. ground flax seed
1 T. ground sesame seed
1-2 T. cacao powder
1/2 t. maca
pinch of cayenne
some frozen black cherries

this is my my new favorite smoothie!!!!
