I make this whenever I have a craving for something naughty but nice.

It tastes like a decadent dessert, but is much better for you than a pint of the commercial brands.

Use regular organic cocoa or carob powder for a not completely raw version, or try it with raw cocoa powder if you are lucky enough to have some on hand.

Tastes great by itself or topped with chopped raw nuts, more nut butter, agave, and/or raw cocoa nibs.

Thanks for the recipe!!!!

I made a version of this with chocolate brown rice protein powder and a little coconut milk. I stirred in cacao nibs like chocolate chips! My bananas weren't frozen so I am waiting for this in the freezer. I can't wait!

Great recipe. What's the difference between mixing this in a food processor and doing it with a blender? Thanks.

TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!Thanks so much. I followed the receipe exactly (except I used cashew butter) and it was perfect. I used cocoa, but I'm going to try the carob. Can't wait to try all the variations everyone wrote about. I'm going to stock up on organic cherries to keep frozen ones on hand. It IS like Cherry Garcia. Didn't freeze it, didn't last long enough. My kids loved it, too!!!

This is fantastic! I made it with cocoa powder, beautiful bing cherries & a sprinkle of cacao nibs - left out the agave nectar because it's sweet enough. Tastes better (less granular) straight out of the blender if you can avoid freezing it. My non-raw friend licked the bowl! :)

This is just a method, so feel free to experiment with a variety of different flavors. I also make a strawberry version by swapping out the cherries for strawberries, the almond butter for cashew butter, and leaving out the carob/cocoa powder. The other night I made a cinnamon peach flavor topped with raw almond slices, and I've also been known to make a "banilla" (banana vanilla) flavor. The options are limitless.
