Raw Chocolate Cherry Malt Recipe

Picture
Here is a recipe to celebrate the last of the summer's organic cherries. While I wouldn't call this recipe affordable per say, it is a delicious treat that I like to enjoy at least once (ok twice;-) a year when antioxidant rich cherries are in season. On of my favourite raw food chefs, Ani Phyo inspired this creation, Enjoy!


Raw Chocolate Cherry Malt
Cherries LOVE...Raw Organic Chocolate

3/4 cup almonds (soaked overnight in filtered water)
1 1/2 cups pitted organic cherries
3 tbsp organic raw cacao (you can replace all or half with carob)
1/2 cup filtered water or as needed to create smoothie consistency
1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil or raw cacao butter
1/2 tsp green stevia (my favourite is from Suede Hills farm)*
1/4 tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean powder (optional)
Optional: add extra sweetness from maple syrup or dates.
dash sea salt
*If you do not have green stevia replace with 1 or 2 medjool dates or 1 - 2 tbsp organic dark maple syrup.

Pssst....all these ingredients are from the Everyday Pantry Shopping List.

Method

(1) Add all ingredients to a food processor and enjoy! This makes for a light breakfast that is sure to give you a surge of energy and delight your taste buds.

Bon Appetit!

Hi there Julie,

I'm wondering what I could sub for coconut oil or raw cacao butter.. & if instead of green stevia (or medjool dates or organic dark maple syrup) as you suggest if you could use agave nectar?

It looks & sounds amazing..I can't wait to try it..I just hope my blender can handle the almonds, etc..

Thanks,
Michelle.

Hi Michelle!
Thank you for your question :-) You can simply try leaving out the coconut oil (it won't be as creamy/rich though) You can also try adding some soaked cashews for extra creamy-ness. To achieve a similar taste, yes you can use agave nectar. I personally do not like using agave as I don't believe the health claims of this product. That is my opinion, feel free to do a google search to learn more.

If you have the chance, let me know how it turns out! If you send me a picture I will post it on my Facebook page.

Bon Appetit,

Julie

I have also added a few green leaves (kale, collards) with great success - cant even taste them and it adds even more nutrition
