in this recipe I use raw wild jungle peanut butter. peanuts are one of the most highly processed & pesticide-heavy crops. most are completely genetically modified and have no nutrient properties. it's rare to find even raw peanut butter. when they roast the peanuts & the oils, they become rancid and hydrogenated. on top of the peanuts themselves not being totally healthy for us, most companies add some other sort of hydrogenated oil to the butter, then a form of cane sugar or HFCS (high fructose corn syrup) and then load it with salt-and not necessarily the good kind! so hopefully you see how spending the little extra on raw wild jungle peanut butter is important to me. you also have the option to buy just the raw jungle peanuts and grind them yourself. now for this tasty treat...
ingredients:
2 frozen bananas
1/4 c young Thai coconut meat (fresh from the coconut or frozen works great!)
1/2 small avocado
2 T raw cacao powder
2 T carob powder (or more cacao)
3 T raw jungle peanut butter
1 T liquid sweetener (a few of my favorites are coconut nectar, raw honey, pure maple syrup or organic brown rice syrup. you also have the option to omit this)
1 T mesquite powder
1/2 T maca powder
2 T unflavored collagen protein (I like this brand)
1/4 t high quality sea salt
-add all ingredients to your blender and whiz up until smooth & creamy. should be frozen still. eat right away topped with raw (in this case grain-free) chocolate granola, cacao paste chunks & hemp seeds. store in freezer.
