Morselicious Autumn Hot Cocoa
I recently discovered my new favorite Cocoa;
|

|
with only 7 g of sugar for 3 Tbsp. & I only use 1 Tbsp.
It’s delicious heated or cold. I drank mine Hot! 
So Delicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk
2 Tbsp. Dagoba Cocoa -Unsweetened
1-2 Tbsp. Scharffen berger Cocoa Sweetened
1 tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 – 1tsp. Cayenne
1/2 tsp. Nutmeg

Mo’s Protein Snack
Almond Butter
Mo’s Cashew Cream*
Rice Thins/Cakes
Mix Hemp Protein, Almond Butter & Hemp Seeds together and spread on Rice Cakes or cracker of choice.
* Cashew Cream
(I’ll admit I was hesitant to make this, thought it
would be a HUGE PAIN…but, it was SO easy & OMG, YUM!)
2 cups of Raw Cashews
1 cup of water
cover cashews in water in bowl
Soak in refrgerator overnight
Drain some of the water in the morning
and blend well into a thick cream
(I store mine in a jar and use as a butter,
cheese, spread, whatever…)
This cashew cream looks good. I am going to try it with some dark chocolate added to use as a topping for frozen coconut milk. I think I will also see what it tastes like if I add applesauce to sweeten for gluten free spread on rice bread. I will let you know if it is a huge success or a failure.
Oooh, sounds yummy, Christen!
Please let me know how it turns out!
A cashew recipe for you!
Makes about 2 cups
This simple and refreshing dip, featuring cashews for creaminess, is best enjoyed the day it’s made. Serve with fresh vegetables or spread on toasted whole grain bread.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups raw cashews
1 English cucumber (about 1 1/4 pound), peeled and shredded
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup freshly chopped dill
2 tablespoons freshly chopped chives
2 tablespoons toasted pine nuts
Method
Soak cashews with enough water to cover for at least 4 hours. Drain.
Place shredded cucumber in a strainer and set aside for at least 15 minutes to drain, then squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible. You should have about 1 1/2 cups packed shredded cucumber. Transfer cucumber to the bowl of a food processor. Add drained cashews, lemon juice, dill and chives and purée until dip is smooth and creamy. Garnish with pine nuts and serve.
