It's wintertime. I am with my family in Switzerland, in the mountains skiing. My seven year old daughter skis the whole day with her ski class. When she comes home, she LOVES to get a nice cup of hot chocolate milk. Here is my raw food recipe version of the warm drink I serve her.
Raw Chocolate Milk Recipe:
Ingredients
1 cup cashew nuts 2 cups warm water 2 table spoons raw chocolate powder 1 table spoon raw carob powder 1 teaspoon of mesquite (optional) 1 table spoon of lucuma (optional 1 table spoon honey syrup and or stevia Cinnamon or vanilla to taste
Preparation
Heat up water to about 100 degrees F (or 40 C). (This is about the temperature you'd like to drink your chocolate milk and won't burn your lips.)
Put all ingredients in a blender. Blend well and enjoy.
You may also use hemp seeds in stead of cashew nuts, but the result may not be as "smooth" You can also substitute the nuts and water for 3 cups of almond or coconut milk.
I usually only use 1 small teaspoon of liquid stevia for sweetening, but some people like the taste of agave, honey or maple syrup better.
Enjoy!
