Raw Food Ice Cream Dessert: CHOCOLATE PROTEIN ACAI This raw dessert is packed with plant-based protein, fiber, and is Gluten and Oil-Free. INGREDIENTS • 1 pack unsweetened frozen acai pack (sold in the frozen fruit section at most health food stores) • ½ scoop of organic plant-based protein • 2 tbsp. organic raw cacao powder (or substitute with unsweetened cocoa powder) • 1 cup plain unsweetened yogurt • 1/4 frozen banana & ¼ cup of frozen strawberries 1. Add all the ingredients in the order listed to a high-speed blender or food processor. If you have a high-speed blender, turn it to the frozen dessert or smoothie button and run through the cycle. You may need to add a little more non-dairy milk to get it going. If using a food processor, let the acai pack thaw a few minutes (or run under warm water and then open the package) before processing it. 2. If using a regular blender (not a high-speed) or a Nutribullet, add 2 tbsp. more liquid to help it blend easier, and you may need to stir in between cycles. You'll want a thick consistency like ice cream when it's finished. 3. Scoop into your favorite bowl and serve with a spoon. 4. Add your choice of toppings such as; fresh berries, chia, coconut, flax or nuts. • 1 cup unsweetened non-dairy milk • 1 drop liquid, alcohol-free stevia • 1 pinch of cocoa powder INSTRUCTIONS
