Living Rawesome Day #253 Black Cacao Syrup pg. 220 entertaining in the raw
April 2, 2010
It’s been a busy day, the kids were off school for the first day of Spring Break. I went to the Dr. today to get my blood results from the Spectra Cell Analysis. EVERYTHING CAME OUT PERFECT!! I am relieved, to say the least. I have been having sugar cravings for so long that I felt like I was lacking something. The Doc says that because my triglycerides are so low, my body is trying to get the triglycerides that it needs elsewhere. That’s why I am craving sugar and fat.
After learning about the Digestion System and Metabolism chapters, I feel like I actually understood what he was saying about this matter. So, I am going to start having more protein. I am looking into several different rice proteins, and possibly combination of pea protein and rice. I really like the Vega formula, even though it is not raw. I will also look into the Sun Warrior Protein. I keep reading how great that is. We also talked about putting animal products back into my diet. When I figure out what I am going to do I will definitely post about all of it. I want to help anyone I can. The issues that I have had on the raw food diet is my constant weight gain. I know one problem is eating bread occasionally and eating any form of sugar. Sorry to say I will not be trying the agave treats for a while. I will not be eating fruit either. I haven’t for almost a week and I have been not feeling like I want to eat everything in sight. I will post more when I have time to write the full story.
I made the black cacao syrup tonight, which is very similar to many other cacao syrups I have made. Needless to say, it smell delicious! I miss eating this stuff but I also need to do what is right for my body:). Maybe one day I will, until then I will ask for other’s opinions.
Syrup Ingredients
agave
cacao powder
carob powder
vanilla extract
sea salt
coconut oil
I blended up the ingredients in a blender until it was smooth. I put it in the refrigerator, but when I am ready to use it I will put it the dehydrator to warm it up.
I am going to buy a game for Christian’s new XBOX that he earned from Kumon. I am so proud of him for all the hard work he did for so many years. I just love my boys. They are growing so much! I love hanging out with them!
Goodnight everyone. Stay tuned for the entire recipe. I could’ve done it tonight, but I have been gone all day and then I came home and Christian’s prize arrived, so of course I have to go buy him some games.
