Yab Yum Elixer

This sensuous beverage was given to us by our good friend and manifesting mentor, Ayanna Mojica. The blend of cocoa, or carob, and coconut create a wonderfully sensuous treat for a romantic night in. For those who do not know, carob is a fruit that is dried and powdered. It has a flavor very close to cocoa, but since it is a fruit it is a low glycemic index food. If you've never used carob before, a fair warning. It smells quite bad. In fact your first instinct will be that someone has passed gas, but the smell goes away after you use it and it's very delicious.

To open the young coconut;
Set the coconut on a stable cutting surface.
Using a large butcher knife cut off the top of the coconut so that you can easily drain the water inside. I have tried several ways and the one that works best for me is to rotate the coconut as I bring the knife down into the topside. This allows me to chop a hole in the top of the coconut without spilling water. (See above photo) You can also google, 'opening a young coconut' to find other methods.
After you have drained the water you can now scoop out the meat. If your hole is too small to scoop you can use the knife to cut it in half to make scooping easier.

Yab Yum Elixer:
The meat of two young coconuts
The water of one young coconut (save the water from the second one for smoothies, or other desserts that call for coconut water. I'll be posting one soon.)
1 tsp of vanilla
3 TBS of raw agave nectar or pure maple syrup
2 TBS of raw cocoa or carob powder

Place all ingredients into a high powered blender and blend well (Approx 30 Sec)

You can also 1 to 1 1/2 cups of ice to make it more milkshake-like.

Yield: about 26 ounces - 30 ounces with ice
