Lately I’ve been into healthy earthy beverages in addition to coffee. Specifically brewed cacao and carob. I love love love brewed cacao, but the theobromine in cacao is a stimulant, so while it’s excellent earlier in the day (seriously, it’s like a gentle consistent wind to your sails that I swear also boosts my mood), drinking it in the evening can negatively affect your sleep. That’s where carob comes in. If you think of carob as a cacao alternative, you’re doing it wrong. Carob is its own delight; it’s very reminiscent of chocolate, yes, but with a more malty undertone. And for those of you who enjoy soy milk, you MUST try adding powdered carob to warm soy. It creates a creamy, rich, delicious drink, perfect for evenings, with minerals and fiber, and full of antioxidants. It’s a win win win.
All you need is:
– Soy milk
– Carob powder
– Small pinch of salt (optional)
You can heat up the soy milk on the stove or in the microwave, then add in carob powder and a pinch of salt to bring out some caramel notes. It’s literally just that. It’s so quick and easy.
Let me know your thoughts or adjustments!
