Carob Nut Log

Carob Nut Log
Ingredients:

1. 1 cut raw almonds, soaked 1 hr, drained & rinsed
2. 2 cups raw sunflower seeds, soaked 1 hr, drained & rinsed
3. 1 cup organic raisins, soaked in 1 cup water
4. 1 cup raw walnuts
5. 1 cup raw carob powder
   
6. Shredded coconut for ganishing
7. Chopped nuts (optional)
   Preparation: Put the soaked almonds, sunflower seeds, and raisins in a food processor with a little water, and process it until it becomes smooth. Then add the rest of the ingredients. You'll need to adjust the sweetness to your liking as you add the raw carob powder. Once the whole things is smooth, roll the mixture on a flat surface so it binds to form a log. Frost it with the St. Patty's Frosting (see the next recipes). Garnish with the shredded coconut. Enjoy! :)

St. Patty's Frosting
Ingredients:

1. 1 cup organic green raisins, soaked
2. 1 cup alkaline water for soaking
3. 1 ripe avocado
4. 3 tbsp raw honey or organic maple syrup to taste (optional)
5. 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
6. 1/2 cup raw carob powder (or more if you like)
   Preparation: Soak the green raisins in the alkaline water for an hour. Pour the water into your food processor, and using the "S" blade, blend the avocado, and honey together. Gradually add the vanilla extract and the carob powder (last). You'll need to adjust the sweetness to your liking as you add the raw carob powder. Once thoroughly blended, use it to frost your Carob Nut Log!
   YUM!
