INGREDIENTS:

  ½ cup Hazelnuts. 

  3 Desert spoons raw chocolate powder

  3 Desert spoons agave

 


METHOD:

Grind the hazelnuts (filberts)  to a fine powder in a vitamix dry jug, seed grinder or twin gear juicer/champion. 

Transfer to a blender  and add the chocolate and agave. Blend until well mixed. Add a little water if you want it runnier.

 

I would put this in the raw WEIGHT GAIN department of recipes! But it is still a healthier option for kids and transitioners  or when you just get the urge for chocolate!

Hazelnuts contain a high concentration of vitamin E which prevents oxidation of the polyunsaturated fats, and it is also one of the few nuts which contain vitamin A, which is a natural antioxidant and has cancer-preventing properties.

Hazelnuts also contain B-group vitamins particularly vitamin B5 and B6 and are an excellent source of minerals, particularly the minerals manganese, selenium, copper and zinc.
