Heart Healthy Hot Cocoa


By theglobalvegan (Visit website)



This raw food hot (or shall we say, warm) cocoa recipe comes from a book I picked up at the library. From what I can see so far the book does include simple recipes, although many require a few kitchen gadgets which I don't have.

So, why is the recipe "heart healthy?" Well, studies link regular consumption of nuts and seeds with blood pressure control, lower cholesterol, and a decreased risk of heart disease. I think you will enjoy this rich and creamy raw cocoa/carob drink.





Difficulty Level: Easy





What you need:



1/4 cup sunflower seeds, soaked for 6 hours
1 1/4 cups warm water
5 dates, soaked for 1 hour or more
1 heaping tablespoon carob powder or raw cocoa powder
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. almond extract
What to do:
In a blender, add seeds, dates and 1 cup water. Blend until smooth.
Add the remaining ingredients and blend again. If you wish, warm slightly in a pan, but make sure the water is no more than 115 degrees F so as not to destroy the enzymes.
Serves: 1 Enjoy!
