Carob Smoothie

this little drink is fantastic and won't leave you craving sugar and chocolate.

Carob Smoothie
1 cup avocado
1 cup coconut water from a baby (white) coconut
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup raw Cacao Powder
1/2 cup young coconut flesh from the coconut you got the water from
Put in blender and blend well. makes pudding. add ice and it turns into a milk shake! This recipe is from the Raw foods club and Tamalin Christen.

Note on Raw Cacao Powder-Get it at Good Earth. It is expensive but worth it. 16oz is around 16.00 but it lasts a long long time.
Note about coconut. If you go to Good Earth they have white coconuts wrapped in plastic in the refrigerator section. Crack open the very top of the coconut drain water out into measuring cup. drink what you don't use. scoop out coconut flesh (it is very easy to take out because the coconut is young) The smoothie tastes FANTASTIC and will stop those nasty chocolate cravings during Easter!
