I recently discovered a great way to use something else instead of cocoa powder.
It鈥檚 made from dried, roasted carob tree pods and looks a lot like cocoa powder. Carob powder is often used as a natural sweetener in baked goods. It鈥檚 sweet and has a unique taste.
Try these ways to add carob powder to your diet:
add carob powder to smoothies
sprinkle carob powder on yogurt or ice cream
add carob powder to your favorite bread dough or pancake batter
make a hot carob drink instead of hot chocolate
make creamy carob pudding
If looking for them in their natural habitat, they look like big brown beans 猬囷笍馃憞
