Dates and Almond Butter

This raw recipe is full of proteins and natural sugars which makes this butter a fortify formula. Favorite of children and elders. It is specially good for Vatta doshas.

Ingredients 1 cup
15 dates (around 90 g. or 3 oz.)
1/2 cup almond butter
4 Tbsp maple syrup
1/3 cup carob powder or cocoa
1Tbsp coconut oil

Raw Coconut Nutella

Make 1 cup.

Commercial Nutella is not only lacking real nutrients but every single one of their ingredients goes through very heavy processing which would imply that the natural state of these ingredients which contribute to color and preservation is completely absent from their formula.

We, lovers of chocolate and nuts can not give up the quick fix that this recipe can give us. Here a version of Nutella  you would love to do over and over again.
