Summary: What is a Spoothie or Smoothie Bowl? It is a Smoothie that you pour into a bowl and eat with a spoon. Try this Raw Vegan Spinach and Chocolate number. Who thought chocolate and spinach could go so well together ? I certainly didn't !
This awesome recipe was created one chilly morning when I was in the mood for something treat-y and delicious (chocolate), but also something healthy and green (spinach). I decided to try combining the two, and I am so glad I did : this raw vegan breakfast smoothie bowl is green, yet the combination of chocolate, carob and spinach is amazingly tasty. If you don't have any raw carob, just leave it out, or use extra cacao powder.
Try it for yourself, I guarantee you will be happy you did !

Summary: What I love about these brownies is that although they are as rich and dense as the traditional variety, these are chock-full of goodness : the nutrition deprived ingredients in a typical brownie recipe are replaced by highly nutritious whole foods.
Protein, Fibre, Folate, Manganese, Phosphorus, Potassium and Copper - rich Aduki (or Adzuki, or Azuki) beans instead of white floor.
Fibre, Vitamin E, Manganese and Copper - rich hazelnuts, instead of extracted vegetable oil or butter.
And finally, they are sweetened with whole dates, instead of white sugar or other extracted sweeteners.
Grain free, gluten free, can be made vegan ...
Yet, as good as chocolate brownies get. But you don't have to take my word for it, try this recipe for yourself !

Summary: It doesn't get any easier. Whip up this tasty raw vegan chocolate sauce in minutes from 3 main ingredients : coconut oil, cacao powder and a sweetener of your choice. The vanilla and the salt are optional, but they do lift and round up the flavours beautifully.
Whether you eat it straight from the spoon, use it as an icing on a raw cake or to coat raw truffles, as a dip for fruits (chopped pear and banana work exceptionally well for a chocolate fondue) ..., this chocolate wonder will make everything a little more delicious.
I like to pour it over banana and mixed berries raw vegan ice cream, for the best breakfast (yes, ice cream for breakfast) in the world ! When poured on the cold ice cream, the chocolate sauce sets, delivering delightful chocolate snaps.
