This is submitted in response to a request for recipes using carob. I haven't tried it yet, but it looks like a healthy and caffeine-free alternative to the traditional chocolate shake! Okay, mostly healthy! I got it from Vegweb. I'm sure you could substitute cocoa for the carob if you so desire! Ingredients:
1 banana |
1/2 cup light vanilla soymilk (i like vitasoy) |
2 tablespoons carob powder or 2 tablespoons carob chips |
1 1/2 teaspoons peanut butter (or soy nut butter) |
sugar or sugar substitute (about 1 tbsp. or to taste-only needed if using carob powder) |
6 -8 ice cubes |
1 dash cinnamon |
Directions:
1. If using carob chips, place the peanut butter and chips in the microwave-safe bowl and microwave on HIGH for about 7-10 seconds, or until the mixture is smooth and pourable.
2. Spoon into blender along with banana, soy milk, and ice cubes.
3. If using carob powder, combine in blender along with banana, soy milk, peanut butter, sugar, and ice cubes.
4. For both: Blend until smooth.
5. Sprinkle with cinnamon to taste.
